I'm personally from Italy, this is the only time I'm thankful I live in a conservative country. Anyway, there is still a lot of populism and people are more polarised than ever like the rest of the world.

I sort of get where you're coming from, but regardless of its roots, misogyny is misogyny. Period.

I live in another Southern European country myself (as stated above, am originally from Finland) and by god - the blatant dismissal of women here (unless they are WIVES or MOTHERS) is very off-putting; and that is me trying to say it veeery nicely. Conservative ideology is not the "fix" for this or anything at all, actually. I'd even wager a lot of conservatives would love to see more of the woman-erasing TRA bullshit because they also tend to (surprise!) loathe gay people, so in their logic it would make much more sense to just transition a person instead of admitting that they simply are sexually attracted to the same sex. (Example - a parent sees an effeminate son - fears he's gay - GAY IS WRONG IN GOD'S EYES - brainwashes them to think they're a girl instead.) Yep, nopedy nope.

I don't think Italy is not that backwards, but you have to distinguish between Northern and southern Italy. In the north gay people are accepted pretty much everywhere and now is not a big thing like in the past. People could be sexist and racist though.

I mostly lurk, I lurked on reddit and I lurk here, and I've seen ideas and terms which come directly from /pol/. GC is already influenced by far-right ideas.

Being conservative I disagree with this. Only culture where I know that is the case is Iran, in Southern and Eastern Europe transsexuals are considered worse than homosexuals. But there is the opposite example where women are forced into becoming men. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_sworn_virgins

You mentioning “far right” as somehow equivalent to GC was enough for me. 😅 Sure, there are probably people on GC peeps from VARIOUS different backgrounds and ideologies - you’ll see some conservatives here as well. That doesn’t mean gender critical feminists are far right. What nonsense.

I grew up in an ultra conservative family so I have my own experience (and the shared experience of others who went through a similar hell) which absolutely makes me oppose conservatives. You sound like a man by the way you talk; or if not, you have been very blind to the “blessings” conservative thinking have brought to us. Ah, imagine a woman with her own right to her body... A thing conservative people most adamantly wish to deny. You may agree that a man is a man, and a woman is a woman (on a biological level) but dude, other than that you and I most likely have nothing in common.

I never mentioned that GC was far-right or equivalent to far-right, I mentioned that far-right ideas were influencing GC, there's a huge difference between those two statements. GC is mostly leftist, but you see statements and ideas on this sub that come directly from /pol/.

Somebody on this sub mentioned how Soros is behind Gender ideological advertisements. Soros being behind transsexual propaganda has been a neo-Nazi point since the 90s.

I am a man, I've never claimed different.

You obviously have a huge hate for conservatives, and not surprising considering what you say about your upbringing. But radical feminists are finding an ally in conservatives, some conservative ideas are already spreading in here. And every alliance eventually comes at a price.
