Ep. 8 – What happens when masculinity meets economic precarity?
Description
THE DIPLOMAT'S CABINET PODCAST | THE POWER DIPLOMAT
Why are young men across Europe increasingly drawn to anti-feminist and far-right narratives?
In this episode of The Diplomat’s Cabinet, policy analyst Javier Carbonell, from the European Policy Centre, joins host Maria Luísa Moreira to explore the economic and identity-based roots of a growing political shift. Based on his recent policy paper From Provider to Precarious, the conversation unpacks how the collapse of the traditional “provider” role, rising job insecurity, and downward mobility are fuelling young men's resentment, often misdirected at feminism and progressive politics.
We discuss:
- How economic frustration is being politicised
- Why the gender backlash is about more than culture
- What progressives risk by ignoring young male voters
- And whether democracy can still deliver on its promises
