Abstract
Globally, we are ending the first quarter of the 21st century in a free fall, as far as equality is concerned. Central, East, and Southeast Europe are no different. With political turmoil in full swing, it is not the burgeoning and multiplying crises of economic and political nature, such as staggering poverty and ongoing wars, nor is it the terrifying climate change effects which we see on an almost daily basis, that took the primacy in political agendas and campaigns. It is an equality issue. Outcries of wokeism, ‘gender ideology’, and, of course, the ever-so-present feminism gone mad; moral panic is filling the news and the social media feeds, but more importantly – people’s hearts and minds (Möser 2018). Using sex and gender equality as a tool by illiberal actors is nothing new (Roggeband and Krizsán 2024). However, its instrumentalisation has become central in the political arenas, turning issues that need to be the subject of political debate into trench-digging impulsions, which deeply polarise people and societies around the globe.
