Our reading
Where women's economic rise is too mild to resent, the far right turns its grievance politics onto immigration instead.

Their wordsSince women did not pose an economic threat, far-right politicians have instead galvanised society-wide opposition to immigration.

Our reading
A backlash against women's economic rise is not automatic; it happens only where politicians choose to mobilise it.

Their wordsSo even though women’s economic advancement did displace some men, and triggered some private hostility, it was never actually catapulted into social antagonism. This is primarily because it was never leveraged by political entrepreneurs!
