How does online misogyny become a catalyst for real-world violence?
In āEmergency Meeting 63ā, Dr Elizabeth Pearson @lizzypearson from the Department of Law and Criminology, Royal Holloway, University of London @RHUL_Law analyses Andrew Tateās postāSouthport 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.

šļø 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).

@hugorifkind just listening to interesting question of tone & language. Degradation of formal tone important to populist idea of āauthenticityā. Elites canāt be trusted as they āfakeā a tone/language - which is actually just diplomacy & political culture.

Tommy Robinson makes same argument to his ābaseā - I use language like you, Iām like you not them.

I donāt understand this. Fiona accused Rachel. They know Fiona was a traitor. They basically therefore know Rachel is a traitor. Yet Rachel is invisible in the discussions .. #TheTraitors
