A horizontal lollipop chart showing the percentage of men and women who agree that 'feminism has gone too far' across EU countries. Each country has two connected dots - one for men (green) and one for women (purple). A dotted vertical line marks 50%. Most countries show men's agreement above 50%, while women's agreement is generally lower. Cyprus, Malta, and Slovenia are notable exceptions where both genders show majority agreement. The data is sorted by total agreement, with countries listed vertically on the Y-axis and percentages on the X-axis. The visualization highlights significant gender gaps, particularly in Finland and Romania, while Ireland shows the smallest gender difference.
