Far Right Movements and Gendered Mobilization in Hungary

In this paper is strictly focused on a so far painfully neglected phenomenon: the gender appeal of the far right for women. consciously therefore, the author will not refer to the discussion of the dominant normative political masculinity that has resurfaced in recent years. The study is not rooted in the traditional political sciences’ methods, but instead seeks to contribute to a new field of analysis. It explores possible causes of the popularity of the far right among women in Hungary. In doing so, it does not deny however that there is a considerable gender gap in terms of support for far right political views. In the light of the Median Survey, men are in fact twice more likely than women to identify with such views.
