Abstract

This panel delves into the intersection of masculinities, gender identities, and political psychology. From the fierce role of toxic masculinity in contentious political debates to the explosive impact of gendered populist rhetoric, we discuss the psychological drivers behind voting patterns, radicalization, and the mobilization of marginalized groups, offering fresh insights into the power dynamics of today's politics.
