These results challenge patriarchal structures and highlight the resilience and capabilities of women in competitive technological settings, emphasizing the need for feminist approaches to dismantle systemic biases.

Despite having a regulatory framework that protects women's rights, pregnancy discrimination persists in various labor sectors, such as factories and the public sector.

Examining the existing literature on anti-genderism and the context in Turkey, this paper relates neoliberal conservative social policies and anti-rights front to top-down masculinist entrenchment, mainly operationalising cultural intimacies. The paper examines the main beneficiaries of anti-genderism in Turkey, articulated into top-down masculinist entrenchment aligned with self-preservation, victimhood discourses and the performance of swashbuckling masculinity. Anti-gender politics mainly operate as part of a top-down social engineering project drawing on the logic of masculinist protection and their reception at the grassroots level is predicated on cultural intimacies forged through mutual recognition and reciprocal relationships, which also maintains hegemonic authoritarian political and neoliberal economic order. Although outright support for anti-genderism is still limited in society, the current majoritarian-authoritarian-securitarian political agenda might exacerbate this in future. Hence, we present a comprehensive analysis of how top-down anti-gender politics are negotiated through cultural intimacies in wider society.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 103014"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142659033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article contributes to a broader understanding of the control-exploitation continuum, identifying a range of everyday exploitative practices such as low pay and long hours to extreme exploitation, such as sexual violence. Furthermore, control and exploitation vary across intersecting identities and are felt more acutely by some (more) marginalised identities.
