 Dixon identifies two means of abusive feminism – formalism and descriptive representation – both of which have found currency in the South Asian context. The South Asian region has a long history of female leaders of states, but their rule demonstrates that no easy causations can be drawn between descriptive presence of women in positions of power and democracy. Women can be and are good and bad leaders just as men. The framework of abusive feminism can help us recognize the dynamic nature of authoritarian rule and take a contextual, multi-institutional, and intersectional approach in our responses.
