SUMMARY:MAN-UP The New Misogyny and the Rise of Violent Extremism
DESCRIPTION:What do most mass shooters\, terrorists\, or violent extremists
  have in common? They are almost always men or boys. And less well-known\,
  they are almost always vicious misogynists\, homophobes\, or transphobes-
 -even if they are also motivated by racism\, antisemitism\, or xenophobia.
  The antigovernment militiamen charged with plotting to kidnap and execute
  Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer used language saturated with misogyny\
 , with one telling an FBI informant\, "Just grab the bitch." \nThe men who
  killed scores at Virginia Tech\, the Pulse nightclub\, and a Maryland new
 sroom all had prior reports of stalking\, domestic violence\, or harassmen
 t of women. And in dozens of other incidents--from North America to Norway
  to New Zealand--an increasing number of misogynist incel (involuntary cel
 ibate) and male supremacist attackers have explicitly targeted and killed 
 women\, blaming feminism or sexual frustration with women as motivation fo
 r their attacks. Yet\, despite all evidence\, the bright red thread of mis
 ogyny running through these attacks is barely acknowledged by the media or
  even experts--and this failing leaves us powerless to stop the violence. 
 \nReturning to Munich Dialogues on Democracy\, Cynthia Miller-Idriss will 
 talk about her latest work\, Man Up\, where she addresses this crucial ove
 rsight head-on\, revealing how an epidemic of misogyny--both online and of
 f--and a patriarchal backlash are driving an exponential rise in mass and 
 far-right violence. She also offers essential strategies that all of us--i
 ncluding parents\, teachers\, and counselors--can use to fight the rising 
 tide of violence\, beginning with recognizing the misogyny that pervades o
 ur everyday lives. \n​\nDr. Cynthia Miller-Idriss is a sociologist and
  professor in the School of Public Affairs and the School of Education at 
 American University\, where she is the founding director of the Polarizati
 on and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL). An MSNOW columnist a
 nd a regular commentator in U.S. and international media\, Miller-Idriss i
 s the author of Hate in the Homeland: The New Global Far Right (Princeton)
 \, The Extreme Gone Mainstream: Commercialization and Far Right Youth Cult
 ure in Germany (Princeton)\, and Blood and Culture: Youth\, Right-Wing Ext
 remism\, and National Belonging in Contemporary Germany.\n​\nThere will 
 be an in-person book group to discuss her latest book at Amerikahaus Munic
 h on March 17th. More information HERE
