In autumn 2022, I gave an interview about the study on European young men’s modern sexism to the Swedish news agency TT nyhetsbyrån, which was then taken up by the Swedish newspapers Sydsvenskan, Svenska Dagbladet, Göteborgs–Posten and Aftonbladet, and the Swedish public service TV channel SVT. In the Swedish talkshow Sverige Möts, the study’s implications were discussed in-depth by the Swedish minister for gender equality, amongst others.
