The men who hate women – How sexism powers the far right

Online hatred doesn’t stay online and women often bear the brunt. From harassment campaigns to real-world violence, from Andrew Tate and the “groypers” to terror attacks like the Gretchen Whitmer kidnap attempt, misogyny is behind some of the most dangerous forces in our politics. Cynthia Miller-Idriss, author of Man Up: The New Misogyny and the Rise of Violent Extremism, talks to Emma Kennedy about how toxic masculinity, digital radicalisation, and white supremacist ideas became so entangled and what we can do to combat them. • Buy Cynthia’s book Man Up: The New Misogyny and the Rise of Violent Extremism and through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
