Abstract

https://doi.org/10.1590/2179-8966/2024/81222

The text presents a rewriting of a judicial opinion on a rape case. The original reasoning articulates arguments based on gender stereotypes that discredit the victim's version of the facts, blaming her for the suffered violence. Our rewritten decision, steeped in feminist theory, aims to overcome signs of what we conventionally designate as “legal patriarchalism”, as well as, demonstrate that judges with feminist viewpoints could have changed the course of the law.

Keywords: Legal Patriarcalism; Sexual Crimes; Gender-Based Violence.
