As this post is trending, I would like to point to our paper (2022, w/ Amy Alexander & Nicholas Charron) on *why European young men are particularly modern sexist* nowadays:
We (basically) argue that it's about increased gender labor market competition.
A strong political divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries:

We know about radical right parties’ gender positions, but what about their voters’ gender attitudes? Because quant research gives mixed results, I did qual interviews w/ radical right voters to find out.
As a result, here is my 1st qual paper!🥳 A 🧵:

Young men on the labor market face competition from, on average, better educated young women. (Visible) women's discrimination often kicks in later: when having kids, or competing for leading positions. Young men don't see the need for gender equality measures & feel threatened.

We measure agreement with the statement that "Advancing women’s and girls’ rights has gone too far
because it threatens men’s and boys’ opportunities". We find: Young men across all EU countries are more likely to agree, compared to women and older men. (data from 2020)

about our study on young men's (relatively) high levels of modern sexism across the EU. Amongst others, we find that their modern sexism is particularly high in regions with increasing unemployment, possibly due to perceived competition between ♀️ & ♂️.
NYHET | Där arbetslösheten ökar växer också motståndet mot ökade rättigheter för kvinnor bland unga män. Det visar en ny studie från Göteborgs universitet. Enligt tidigare forskning kan detta påverka politiska attityder och röstningsbeteenden.

Interesting! Personally, I think,

Lessons for future job talks: As a woman in academia, don't mention your partner, and don't have information on your relationship status publicly visible online. (also: wtf?)
"committees assumed that heterosexual women whose partners held academic or high-status jobs were not “movable,” and excluded such women from offers ... and saw all female partners as movable."

Quick answer: Eastern German AfD voters partly use the same antifeminist frames. However, they also support some feminist policy, largely reflecting post-Socialist gender norms. They mostly oppose recently salient & third-wave feminist issues.

"The agreement gives the Sweden Democrats exactly what they wanted - the strongest possible influence without the accountability of sitting in the new government [...] This gives them a lot of informal power, [...] it is an ideal solution for them."
"We're at the brink of something very different in key respects in Swedish society: how we relate to each other, the forces of the state in relation to individual freedoms and what it is to be a foreigner in this country"

4 implications:
1. Voters' attitudes differ by feminist issue, which may explain mixed results from quant research. E.g. they may support equal pay but oppose gender quotas.
2. We need to be careful with inferring attitudes about feminism from few survey indicators.

It was so nice talking with Peppe Öhman from
@vadvivet
about Nicholas Charron, Amy Alexander and my study on young men's modern sexism. The 5 minutes format is perfect for quick and easy science communication :)

While most research treats them separately, I argue that cultural grievances related to immigration and feminism, incl. LGBTQI+ issues, should be studied jointly. This is for 3 reasons:

"At inte ta ställning, att inte protestera, [...] är också att ta ställning" - this goes for everyone, not just politicians.
Att inte ta ställning, att inte protestera, att inte lämna om protesterna inte hjälper, är också att ta ställning. I vissa situationer måste man välja, och det val Liberaler med stort L står inför är fundamentalt. Det handlar om ett val mellan ideologisk integritet eller parti.

3) Some RR voters consider intersectionality: In their view, a white hetero man has it worst, while a lesbian Black women is best off. I call this "intersectional cultural grievances".

1) RR voters apply similar arguments to justify these grievances: They don't perceive existing discrimination & think the ingroups will lose if the outgroups win, resulting in an unfair situation.

3. I would love for surveys to include questions on recently salient issues, e.g. the
#MeToo
debate.
4. Feminist and antifeminist voters might agree more than their party affiliations suggest.

2) Some RR voters refer to all 3 grievances within the same argument. In their perception, these grievances are connected. I call this "multidimensional cultural grievances".

In the Swedish elections, among first-time voters, men identify as strongly right-wing as they haven't since 1991. The backlash among young men since 2014 is striking!
Nu inleder vi fördjupade analyser av data från SVT/VALU. Det blir som vanligt en bok, vi siktar på i början av nästa år. Redan nästa vecka presenteras dock ”Snabbtänkt” med de första skrivna analyser. Fram till dess bjuder vi på den här

The interviewees are from East Germany, a context combining strong support for the antifeminist radical right AfD & a post-Socialist legacy of gender equality in the labor market. How do AfD voters combine these contradictory influences?

Interesting work by

First, I identify 4 frames commonly used by antifeminist actors: the heteronormative, populist, postfeminist/femonationalist, & misogynist frames. Next, I analyze whether & how the interviewees use these frames.

we show that both refugee immigration & women's rights polarize between liberals & conservatives. Polarization over ♀️'s rights is *not* driven by conservatives - it is driven by liberals becoming *more* liberal in reaction to a framing of ♀️'s rights as a threat.

The hurdles that non-Western PhD students (and other scholars) are facing as regards visas and residence permits are highly unfair. Conferences like
#APSA2022
and Western universities must provide extra support. See the below thread by
@adea_gafuri
for how this can be done.
