- Identification shows a wide gender gap, with 51.3% of young women calling themselves feminist compared with 26% of young men.
- Adolescent boys are the most resistant cohort, as roughly two in three ages 15–19 reject the movement and only 16% identify as feminist.
- Perceptions have hardened, with 49.2% viewing feminism as political manipulation even as 48.9% say gender inequalities in Spain remain large.
- Concerns about false accusations rose to 50.8% and about loss of presumption of innocence for men to 44.6%, while controlling behaviors in relationships remain common, including 27.3% of young women reporting a partner checked their phone.
