Exploring Gender, Misogyny, and Toxic Masculinity Within Right-Wing Movements

The guest shares their experience conducting ethnographic research with the Proud Boys, highlighting the transphobic content within the group, as well as discussing the misogynistic and trans-misogynistic nature of the movement. The chapter also examines the historical prevalence of misogyny, the challenges of debating topics like Marxist social reproduction theory and toxic masculinity, and the impact of social media on rewarding polarizing behaviors over humility and self-reflection.
