[Mischief]

I think many people assume that right wing and white supremacist groups are primarily male. Th is article sheds light on the powerful roles played by women in such groups: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/12/13/american-women-of-the-far-right/

Warning: Some may find this disturbing reading. I had a physical reaction to it, and I'm not a member of any group targeted by these people.

Wow. Definitely disturbing. I only get a taste of this when I’m on Facebook and I read some of the comments on any number of debates that go on there.

Also take a look at this podcast:

ARZone Total Liberation Interview 14 ~ Carol J. Adams

Carol J. Adams mentions in the podcasts some of the coping mechanisms of Republican Women that were identified in another book/study (can’t remember what it was) and how they deal with the reality of misogynism and sexism that is one of the pillars of their “movement”.
