Attitudes to gender equality in the UK in 2021. 
BSA long-term data shows attitudes to gender were socially polarising in mid-late 1980s. However, previous splits by generation & gender over one of the foundational claims pursued by feminism was replaced by broad social convergence in favour by this century.
Mystery in the pattern. Why might this change seem to become much stronger during Thatcher's third term (1987-90) yet having apparently seemed to somewhat weakened during her second term (1983-87)? But we don't have pre-1979 data from this source as BSA starts in the 1980s.
Spain and Italy are right up there with the UK and Denmark in this @YouGov survey It would be interesting to see where Ireland would rank, and the generational shifts in Spain and Italy, and Ireland.
