Misogyny as Gateway to Extremism | Sydney News

New research reveals a chilling link between misogyny and extremist recruitment among young men, with Dr. Sara Meger’s study showing hostile attitudes toward women are the strongest predictor of radicalization.

Dr. Meger now calls for urgent, early intervention programs starting at age six to disrupt this dangerous trajectory before it escalates.
