Inside the Anti-Gender Machine

This episode pulls back the curtain on the political, economic

, and emotional machinery driving anti-gender movements across Europe. From neoliberal restructuring and post-communist anxieties to GO-NGOs, transnational networks, and nostalgia politics, we map how these actors build lasting influence and why understanding their infrastructures is essential for defending democracy.
