Only 38% of young people in Spain identify as feminist, the lowest level since 2021; half endorse ideas of romantic love and one in four girls has her phone controlled by her partner
Feminism is declining significantly among young people. Four out of ten identify as feminists. The percentage has fallen from 50% in 2021 to 38% in 2025 — a drop of twelve points, reaching the lowest level since the previous peak. In addition, nearly half of respondents in the Fad Juventud study perceive feminism as a tool for political manipulation.
By age group, those between 15 and 19 years old are the least likely to identify as feminist, with only one in four doing so. In contrast, a majority of people in their thirties identify with that position. There are gender differences: 51% of girls identify as feminist compared to 26% of boys. However, feminism has also declined among young women, dropping six points in just two years. In 2023, the percentage exceeded 57%.
Although young people show broad consensus on equal rights and responsibilities within romantic relationships (one in eight explicitly defend this), strong dynamics of control and gender-based violence persist, with very visible gaps. Thirty-two percent of young women say their partner has gotten angry when they did not immediately respond to messages or calls (17% of boys report the same); 27% say their partner has checked their phone (17% of boys), and 26% say they have been told who they can or cannot talk to (17% of boys).
In the area of sexual violence, one in five young women say they have been forced to have sexual relations when they did not want to, compared to 8% of boys. The impact and consequences of that violence are greater for them: 44% of women report having experienced mental health problems or feelings of guilt or shame, compared to 19% of boys.
In addition, half of young people endorse ideas associated with romantic love: they agree that having a partner implies total devotion to the other person and consider it something that should be conceived as a lifelong project. And a worrying percentage hold toxic and possessive ideas: 31% believe they deserve to know where their partner is at all times, 23% interpret jealousy as proof of love, and 21% normalize checking their partner’s phone.
These figures come from the new Youth and Gender Barometer by FAD Juventud, based on online surveys of a sample of 3,327 people, of whom 1,528 are young people aged 15 to 29. The study, funded by the Government Delegation against Gender Violence of the Ministry of Equality, was conducted between April and May of last year.
Its social media, people like musk have a broken view on women and help push that sentiment on their platforms
“Haha, feminists are dumb, feminism is just political manipulation,”
said the guy, then went on to read X about how awesome Trump/Musk is and watch Andrew Tate between dota 2 matches.
Quick questions, couldn’t see them in the article.
Does anyone know if:
They provide a definition of ‘feminism’ (1st wave, 2nd wave etc)?
How important is this to increasing or maintaining their funding?
The future is 40% misandrists ; 40% incels and 20% normal people (best case scenario)
La propaganda funcionando. No hay mas.
Today I learned that feminism is an antonym to”romantic love” (the equivalent of Karpman’s Drama Triangle)
Most women are feminist even if polls don’t show it. It’s just the type of feminism they ascribe to that’s at question.
Doesn’t feminism involve being feminine
At one point I was a feminist. They said it was about equality. Then it all changed. Now Im not a femist. And feminism has not been about equality for a very long time. – Switch and bait, but we got wiser.
“Lowest since 2021” is certainly a phrase.
Of course nobody sane wants to be a modern day feminist.
Equal rights = good
Politicized endless gender wars masquerading as rights activism = bad
People aren’t less “feminist”, they’re less pro movements that claim to be so
This is a necessary narrative course correction as some absolutely hateful groups attach themselves to both women’s and men’s rights movements
Reddit is a good example, with how many femcel subs exist and even get promoted vs how quickly incel subs get purged
Feminism should be defined first. Women should have the same rights and rhensame responsibilities as men in society.
Gracias Irene Montero por ser un espantapájaros.
Jesus the comments here make this point better than the article ever could;
A steady diet of far right propaganda has convinced everyone of a boogey(wo)man spectre of the “man hating feminist” – a concept so outdated it died with Andrea Dworkin.
Can anyone name one? Can you show us on the doll where it touched you?
It’s a collective delusion being constantly fed by the hard right media, Tate, and the new eugenics crowd like that meth-addicted child associated with the word “mogging”.
Literally no relation to reality, but it’s not surprising that children fall for it.
What is surprising is all the adults who swallow it wholesale and repeat it in public.
European redditors will tell you of the evils of islam and MAGAism and then go back to “women get DESTROYED” era when its feminism in their countries or self criticism.
People are probably just waking up to the fact that modern feminism is a victimhood mentality that hasn’t managed to build anything.
There is probably a lot nuance in this discussion, but why bother if it will generate fewer clicks. Don’t fall for it 🙂
“Straight” men aren’t getting laid so they’re making it everyone else’s problem as usual.
Femminism is plummeting, not because we are doing ANYTHING wrong, but because YOU are gullible FOOOOOOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!
What, there are hundreds of laws that literally say women have more rights than men? SO WHAT?!??!? Did you know a Thousands years ago women had less rights!! Do you know about a faraway land called Afghanistan?!?!?! The fact that before you were born some people had less rights means YOU have to have less rights, you FOOOOOOOL!!!!!
“I believe in romantic love” – HAHA!!! I FOUND THE WOMAN-HATING MISANDRIST
/s just in case
Wtf is happening in this thread and all the commenters who seem to believe the weirdest claims about what feminism is
