Amidst the rising tide of feminist voices from all over the world, with movements such as MeToo or Ni Una Menos, and women’s massive marches and demonstrations sweeping the globe, gender equality issues have finally come to the fore, especially over the last few years. Reflecting upon the complex dynamics between women and men and stereotyped gender roles and conventions dictated by society, French director Eléonore Pourriat’s film I am not an Easy Man (Je ne suis pas un homme facile, 2018) offers an insightful, thought-provoking exploration of gender issues, shading light on a number of invisibilized inequalities and the naturalized sexism inherent in the patriarchy. The aim of this article is to discuss, from a gender analysis perspective, how Pourriat’s film challenges and subverts the hegemonic binary gender order –especially, male privilege–, and leads viewers, through irony and satire, to further their awareness of and reflect on culturally constructed expectations, assumptions and constraints that are differentially assigned to women and men, femininity and masculinity, in our current heteronormative sex/gender/sexuality system.
