The first in-depth undercover investigation of the terrorist movement that is mostly unknown.
Men Who Hate Women tracks the origins of sexism via a convoluted network of organisations and investigates the emergence of reclusive extreme organisations that detest women. It features insightful interviews with guys who are fighting back, scholars researching this movement, and former members of these groups.
Laura Bates, a women's rights activist, was subjected to several hateful and sexist internet assaults before writing this book. The hate first seemed to be the product of a select group of male individuals, but as time went on, the number and regularity of the assaults suggested something larger and more sinister. Bates discovered an invisible, coordinated movement of thousands of nameless males who desire violence—or worse—upon women when she went undercover into the dark corners of the internet.
In the tome, Bates investigates:
extreme groups, such as MGTOW, incels, pick-up artists, men's rights activists, and others
The divisive, poisonous language that these organisations use
Relationships between this movement and other radical movements, such as white supremacist
How young guys are singled out and gradually enticed in
Where this philosophy is present in our daily life, such as in our government, parks, and mainstream media
Men Who Hate Women is an eye-opening, comprehensive portrayal of the pervasive anti-feminism and deep-seated hatred of women that permeates our culture. It is a must-read for parents, educators, and anybody who supports women's equality. It is at once intriguing and disturbing.
