“Conservatism is a trap for women. No matter how hard MAGA women try to please their masters, the ideology is set up to blame women for the problems faced by men, to demand female subservience & to scapegoat women when something goes wrong."

There is a long way to go in building forms of CVE policy and programming that address masculinities, male supremacy and misogyny in effective and just ways.
Book, Masculinity and Violent Extremism, free in PDF here: xyonline.net/content/masc...
11/11

CVE Programming shows problems of reductive and homogenised view of men’s experiences, securitisation, and the stigmatisation of certain groups of men, e.g. Muslim men
10/11

Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) policy and practice: There is a growing emphasis on gender in the agenda of CVE policy-making and programming, but gender often is equated with women
9/11

Far-right and men’s rights groups celebrate a concept of hegemonic masculinity, prizing logic, reason, conflict, individualism, strength and valour.
Both emphasise a belief in hegemonic masculinity from a perceived position of male subordination, but Islamist groups less so.

-- Revelation of men’s suffering: Taking the ‘red pill’ and realising that men are victims of women’s / feminist domination.
7/11

-- Restoring a lost patriarchy: That VE action is the only way to restore a lost patriarchal social order
-- Male potency: An appeal to masculine potency and virility, in both Islamist and far-right messaging. Fantasies of glory and violent and ‘righteous’ male domination.
6/11

Violent extremist groups themselves deploy various narratives of masculinity in their messaging and organising:
-- The male protector: Calling on men to protect their family, community of faith and/or nation. Threats from the dangerous masculinities of the racialised male Other
5/11

Hostile sexist attitudes toward women and support for violence against women are factors strongly associated with support for violent extremism.
The personal histories of those who commit terrorist violence often include misogynistic attitudes and behaviours.
4/11

Misogyny (sexist hostility) often is integral to the ideology and political identity of violent extremist (VE) groups.
Misogyny can be seen as an early warning sign of VE.
Anti-feminist men’s politics and networks act as a gateway to the far-right
3/11

Masculinity is central to violent extremist recruitment narratives across the religious and political spectrum. Extremist groups at opposite ends of the spectrum adopt similar conceptions of ‘what it is to be a man’, idealising men as warriors, protectors and breadwinners.

Masculinity and Violent Extremism: The book is a "must read for anyone wanting to understand the role masculinities play in violent extremist groups of diverse ideologies—far right, Islamist and far left"
