The issues surrounding the reification of women in society run through a tangle of historical
and material factors, which have determined different places for men and women in socially
constructed relationships. For men, the role of universal subjects, for women and feminized
segments, the place of object and patient, as if this structure were part of a natural, therefore
immutable form of life. These relations start from concrete constructions, and have been
supported by what we understand as a heteropatriarchal capitalist system. This system has
oppressed, exploited and appropriated women for centuries, taking effect since the attempt to
imprison their subjectivity, as well as the product of their bodies and their work force,
sometimes devalued, when the sexual division of work, sometimes invisible in the field of
reproductive work and / or care. As we understand that this set of charges imposed on women
is part of a social totality, manifesting itself in all dimensions and sectors of life, we arrived at
this master's research, in which we seek to bare these social relations of sex, based on the
particularity of 2016 coup, which removed former president Dilma from the presidency of
Brazil. For this proposal, we carried out a bibliographic and documentary research, through
dialogue with the critical Marxist perspective and with Francophone materialist feminists, in
addition to the work of fundamental feminists regarding the analysis of women in Brazilian
society. It is worth noting that the overlap between sex-race-class social relations is part of this
complex. We outlined, at first, a conjunctural analysis that involves Brazilian social formation
as a dialectical bridge to the present. Then, we worked on analytical categories such as ideology,
conservatism, reification and patriarchy to demonstrate that this dynamic complex is intricate
and reverberates in women's reification. And, finally, in the last chapter, we developed a critical
analysis of the language, through the speeches given by the parliamentarians in the deliberative
session of April 17, 2016, through the document of the shorthand department of the Chamber
of Deputies, this one contains the entire transcript of that session. We work with the selection
of excerpts of speeches that configure the existence of a misogynistic and sexist face of the
coup, as when in the name of God and the traditional monogamous family, parliamentarians
reiterated the need and justification for the impeachment of the stereotyped and discriminated
woman president. gender, and more, for not fulfilling the “gender role” that a macho society
expects of a woman. With this, we defend that language as an analytical category is constituted
as one of the ideological mechanisms for the representation of concrete relations of domination
and class struggle.
