Man Up: The New Misogyny and the Rise of Violent Extremism

Description

Man Up examines how a new wave of misogyny, shaped by online subcultures, influencer ecosystems, and grievance‑based narratives, is fueling pathways into violent extremism. Cynthia Miller‑Idriss shows how distorted ideas of masculinity, resentment, and gender‑based hostility are increasingly intertwined with extremist ideologies, from the far right to incel communities. Drawing on research across digital platforms, youth culture, and radicalisation studies, the book reveals how misogyny functions both as a standalone threat and as a gateway into broader forms of political violence.
