What does the “And your sister, is she going?” meme mean?
The phrase expresses a categorical rejection and a personal counter-attack against a question perceived as intrusive or unfair. It transforms a legitimate inquiry into an ad hominem attack, highlighting the interlocutor's hostility or disdain. The dominant emotion is one of assumed provocation, using absurdity or supposed indecency to disarm the questioner and reverse roles in the debate.
Where does the “And your sister, is she going?” meme come from?
The origin dates back to February 21, 2002, the eve of the burial of Maurice Papon, a former Vichy official convicted of crimes against humanity. Jean-Marie Le Pen, then leader of the National Front, was questioned by a journalist about his potential attendance at the funeral. He firmly refused, describing Papon as a "Gaullist high civil servant" not belonging to "this parish." The exact formula "And your sister, is she going?" emerged as a stinging reply, though sources do not name the journalist or the specific broadcast. This brutal interaction, considered shocking by the public, spread widely online. It became emblematic of Le Pen's polemical style, later echoed by Marine Le Pen in 2025 to illustrate this defensive and offensive rhetoric.
