The question of gender in right-populist governments

Abstract

From the perspective of the descriptive dimension of the concept of representation, populisms question the standards representations of gender. They tend to either embrace a very chauvinist discourse, attacking ”gender ideology” and claiming a form of representation that emphasize the symbolic identification with a male leader that embodies the values of masculinity, or adopt a militant defence of gender parity that challenges what is considered the poor performance of conventional elites/parties.
