    Open Access•Lucie Němcová, Linda Coufal•ARTICLE•Journal of Gender Studies•2026•References: 12

    This article explores anti-gender discourse in political debate over 30 years. Expanding scholarship on the transnational anti-gender movement and connecting it to the ‘crisis of masculinity’ discourse, we examine political discourse across the ideological spectrum and its contribution to the persistence and normalization of anti-gender narratives.

    While political scientists regularly engage in spirited theoretical debates about elections and voting behavior, few have noticed that elected politicians also have theories of elections and voting. Here, we investigate politicians' positions on eight central theoretical debates in the area of elections and voting behavior and compare politicians' theories to those held by ordinary citizens. Using data from face-to-face interviews with nearly one…
