The meaning of anti-feminism has varied across time and territory, but it has been and is deeply political. It is based on the denial of any of the following dimensions... : that there is patriarchy, that the sexual division of labour favours men or that collective actions must be promoted to correct these discriminations and inequalities. In other words, anti-feminism is a collective opposition to the emancipation of women... 3, record 3, English, - antifeminism

En tant que contre-mouvement, l'antiféminisme est traversé par différents courants de pensée, à la manière des mouvements sociaux qui se structurent autour d'une pluralité d'identités collectives et d'idéologies.

La culture du viol décrit un environnement social et médiatique dans lequel les violences sexuelles trouvent des justifications, des excuses sont simplement banalisées, voire acceptées. C'est par exemple un environnement qui culpabilise les femmes quant à leurs tenues et leur apparence. Dire (ou penser) qu'une femme victime de viol qui se balade seule le soir en talons et en mini-jupe «l'a bien cherché», c'est faire peser sur la victime la responsabilité du crime – car le viol est un crime, n'est-ce pas [...] 2, record 4, French, - culture%20du%20viol

These subtypes of breast cancer are generally diagnosed based upon the presence, or lack of, three "receptors" known to fuel most breast cancers : estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2). The most successful treatments for breast cancer target these receptors. Unfortunately, none of these receptors are found in women with triple negative breast cancer. In other words, a triple negative breast cancer diagnosis means that the offending tumor is estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative and HER2-negative, thus giving rise to the name "triple negative breast cancer.

Le cancer du sein triple négatif (CSTN) est un sous-type de cancer du sein qui n’exprime pas les trois récepteurs responsables de la plupart des cancers du sein : les récepteurs d’estrogène (ER), de progestérone (PR) et le récepteur-2 du facteur de croissance épidermique humain (HER2). En raison de leur statut triple négatif, en général, les tumeurs triples négatives ne répondent pas aux traitements ciblant les récepteurs. 1, record 5, French, - cancer%20du%20sein%20triple%20n%C3%A9gatif
