Abstract
The article gives a brief description of the basic theories of feminism, analyzes the activities of a historically unprecedented number of women in the political process and public administration of modern European societies. Special attention is paid to the processes of ideologization and politicization of radical feminist concepts. Postmodern, globalist concepts of radical feminism destroy the traditional system of values based on the concept of complementarity of masculinity and femininity, which leads to anti-feminism, post-feminism. The radical feminist positions of women politicians in modern European societies allow concluding that the traditional gender principle “Men = war, women = peace” has collapsed.
