“…Abbot and Turnbull clearly do not state their rejection of feminist tenets, while self‐identifying as feminist, but there is little evidence either implicitly or explicitly of their underlying philosophical commitment to the cause of feminism. While Kuypers and Althouse () discuss ideographic shifts over time, this research identifies a shift not just over time but a shift by gender. The different meanings for men and women undermine the power of the term feminist as an ideograph to represent a collective comment, and instead leads to gendered approaches to the term.…”

“…This research extends the extant ideographical scholarship in three ways. First, we extend the primarily US‐based ideographic research (such as Atkinson, ; Kuypers & Althouse, ) by focusing on an Australian sociocultural–political context, and extending current understanding of the culturally nuanced evocation of ideographic terminology. Second, we add to the existing appreciation of ideographic analysis as a means of investigating the rhetorical deployment of ideologically based terminology by, of and about women.…”

Feminism seems to be experiencing a resurgence. This research examines an Australian case where this resurgence produces some bizarre outcomes and an uncomfortable mix of moderate and neoliberal feminisms, as conservative women distance themselves from the term feminist and conservative men embrace it. We rhetorically analyse the discourse of four conservative leaders using an ideographic analysis to reveal how political actors evoke ideologically laden terminology to support specific courses of action.For the conservative women, the ideograph feminist was too heavily laden with history. A more feminine-liberal political discourse allowed them to explain their own success in individual terms and, by substituting support for feminism with a broader gender equality agenda, they could explain the government's policy approach of individualized rather than collective or state support to advance the needs of women. They are articulating a postfeminism sensibility themselves and neoliberal feminist other. For the conservative men, the ideograph feminist did not reflect on their own personal success or careers; they were happy to embrace it for purely political purposes to advance their standing with the voting public and saw no significance in terms of the government's policy approach of neoliberal feminism.
