Maleness doesn’t drive far-right terrorism. People have to really twist themselves up to get to that conclusion. It’s completely backwards. Right ideology drives radicalization of males. It’s “fiscal conservatism” driving rightwing ideology more broadly.
Why is this so gendered?
It is reflected in most far right protests too, where men FAR outnumber women.
Isn’t it time we stopped looking just at race/poverty/religion as drivers of far-right terrorism in the Western world, and address the uncomfortable fact that maleness drives it too?
Then ask why?
