How does online misogyny become a catalyst for real-world violence?
In “Emergency Meeting 63”, Dr Elizabeth Pearson @lizzypearson from the Department of Law and Criminology, Royal Holloway, University of London @RHUL_Law analyses Andrew Tate’s post–Southport broadcast to show how extreme misogyny operates as both a gateway and an organising principle for contemporary extremism.
Drawing on critical discourse analysis, the article demonstrates how misogynist, far-right, and accelerationist narratives are strategically combined to normalise violent imaginaries, emotionally script male grievance, and mobilise youth towards hate crime.

So few convictions for rape - the sentencing matters.
Filming is an aggravating factor and too common as an attempt to add extra pain.
Rape victims are being let down time and time again.

It was turning to old Labour hand Mandelson that helped lead to where we are today.
Have some confidence and look forwards not back.

@HSTIKKYTOKKY4 Jimmy Savile did a lot of charity work. Google it. Offsetting all the abuse. But being remembered as a good guy doesn’t work like that. Money is useful to help others - but do you think money is manhood?
You’re young. It’s ok to say you got something wrong.

🎙️ The book is based on interviews with activists and leaders including Tommy Robinson and Anjem Choudary. It also asks a difficult question: should we be talking to extremists at all? (My answer is yes, we must).
@mayemusk@RupertLowe10 Your nostalgic fantasy has absolutely nothing to do with our country, which you don't understand. White people can travel the world, but brown people can't.. ? Racist hypocrisy.
