We argue that the understanding of a European society which aims to uphold the values of Art. 2 TEU has to be anti-patriarchal. In the following contribution, we apply a feminist methodology – feminist re-writing/re-reading –  to the Court’s arguments to carve out hypothetical future orientations for creating a non-patriarchal European society.
