GENDER AND POLITICS AS AN ASPECT OF POLITICAL PSYCHOLOGY

Abstract

Freedom, equality and brotherhood are the slogans of democracy, nurtured by the political struggle in Europe - in the XVIII-XIX centuries. Within the framework of this political paradigm, the issue of gender interaction has become especially acute - against the background of age characteristics. Within Europe, such interaction has become crucial in connection with the development of industrial production, urbanization, science, especially sociology and psychology, and changes in socio-cultural life. Women in the capitalist countries of northern and central Europe have been at the forefront of the struggle for women's rights and freedoms, primarily under the slogan of socio-economic change. Eventually, this struggle became politically significant. These political slogans were unfolded in the stream of Marxist and social-democratic theory and practice - in Central Europe, then in Russia. Psychology and positive sociology, evolutionary biology played in this stream the role of creators of gender and age flows in the question of the place and role of women in social life. Feminism and the gender movement have become a gap in women's struggle for the realization of rights and freedoms in all directions. These issues became especially acute in the postwar period. Feminism and gender have entered a phase of rapid development in connection with the sexual revolution in the West. The dogmas of Puritanism, racism, especially in the United States, were overcome through the broad participation of all population segments. In the West, the positions of Freudian, neo-Freudian methodology won and were developed. Postmodernism has become a sociocultural worldview methodological phenomenon that has expanded the scope of understanding these movements. This material develops the relationship between gender and politics against the background of political psychology, taking into account gender and age aspects
