Despite extensive research on the socio-structural origins of radical right support in Europe, existing studies often overlook the role of gender as an analytical category. While some attribute radical right voting to occupational precariousness and ‘economic anxiety’, others highlight the movement’s strong appeal to men and its embeddedness in masculinized political narratives. This paper brings these perspectives into conversation by examining how occupational positions relate to gender identities and attitudinal preferences, and how both factors interrelate with radical right support. Drawing on European Social Survey data from thirteen countries, I employ Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) to map these interrelations, to display that men in specific occupational positions are more likely to adhere to 'traditional' forms of masculinity, which in turn corresponds with radical right voting. This paper attempts to challenge the tendency to treat socio-economic and gendered explanations of radical right support as distinct, instead demonstrating their deep interconnection, offering a novel visualization of how gender, occupation, and political behavior intersect in contemporary Europe.
