What things do most mass shooters, terrorists, or violent extremists have in common? Most of us know the first: they are almost always men and boys. But the second? They are almost always virulent misogynists, transphobes, and homophobes. Yet, this aspect almost always goes unreported in the media. Join leading extremism expert Cynthia Miller-Idriss as she discusses her new book, tracing the roots of novel extremism and violence to an epidemic of yet-to-be acknowledged epidemic of on and offline misogyny.
