Journal d’une sortie d’emprise

Flora Souchier’s Méfiez-vous des hommes qui se disent féministes is a fragmentary account of intimate coercive control, structured as a meticulous chronological record interspersed with letters, diary entries, and poetry. Beginning with an encounter at a zone à défendre (ZAD), the narrative traces how the author falls for D., a politically engaged activist whose apparent radicalism and theoretical sophistication mask emerging patterns of domination. Souchier documents the slow erosion of agency as initial tensions are reframed as signs of vulnerability rather than warning signals, examining how progressive political consciousness can coexist with patriarchal violence. The two-part structure moves from immersion in the relationship through recognition and escape, positioning writing itself as a form of resistance and witness. The work engages feminist critique while interrogating how left-aligned masculinity can obscure abuse.
