The rise of misogynistic politicians has become a salient issue in transnational political research. In Taiwan’s 2024 presidential election, Ko Wen-je—labeled by the media as a misogynistic candidate—garnered disproportionate support from young voters while facing lower support from female voters. This pattern presents a paradox: both young voters and female voters are typically associated with higher gender equality consciousness, yet they diverge in their support for a candidate perceived as misogynistic.
