Stereotypes about mathematics and women: sex differences in mathematics anxiety of Communication students
Miren Berasategi Zeberio 
María J. Pando-Canteli
María Pilar Rodríguez
Messages related to gender concepts as found in the Twitter (now X) accounts of Far-Right politicians Rocío Monasterio (Spain), Giorgia Meloni (Italy), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (the United States) are analyzed through a discourse network analysis case study to disclose the main thematic concepts and the level of recurrence and agreement among them. In a context in which Far-Right parties internationally have made gender and sexuality issues an integral component of their political agenda, this article investigates if it is possible to see the traces of a “political ecosystem” in which agreement on central issues related to gender are the focus of political discourses by these three leaders and if symbiotic relationships are displayed. The case study results show that their institutional positions heavily condition their messages. Meloni’s responsibility as prime minister shapes and restricts her communication profile; Monasterio and Taylor Greene concur in their condemnation of radical feminism, abortion, trans identity, and gender diversity to defend the hetero-patriarchal family and the purity of the country. The impact of these messages on international political agendas requires further study.
