“Not just stallions” meme: meaning, origin and common card

What does the “Not just stallions” meme mean?

The expression uses a stable analogy to discuss team composition. "Stallions" represent dominant or traditional figures, often male. "Percherons" and "mares" symbolize diversity, including women and other less conventional profiles. Dati argues that a homogeneous group risks stagnation or excess, while mixed groups ensure better balance and collective performance.

Where does the “Not just stallions” meme come from?

The phrase comes from an interview given by Rachida Dati to the weekly newspaper Le Parisien, published on February 4, 2025. In this context, the Culture Minister spoke about parity and diversity issues in French cultural and political institutions. She stated: "Having only stallions in a stable can end badly! For a better balance, it's not bad to have Percherons as well. And there are also mares." This declaration was selected for the 2025 Political Humor Prize, earning Dati the "Arc de Triomphe Prize." No specific video or TV show is documented as the original visual source; the meme relies solely on the journalistic text.
