How Gendered Hatred Anchors Extremist Ideologies
Misogyny is not a side effect of extremism; it’s often central to its worldview. This session examines how gendered hatred, entitlement, and control are woven into violent ideologies across the spectrum – from white supremacists to religious and political extremists. We’ll explore the psychological functions of misogyny in extremist movements, and how gendered hate is used to reinforce group cohesion, justify violence, and signal loyalty.
