Alex DiBranco is executive director and co-founder of the Institute for Research on Male Supremacism. Her work includes a focus on male supremacist terrorism and violence, including incel mass violence and anti-feminist conspiracism, and the alt-right as an umbrella for white supremacist, male supremacist, and antisemitic mobilizations. She provides trainings for social justice organizers on countering supremacist mobilizations and ideology.
The “misogynist incel” mobilization is shaped around dehumanization of women, men’s entitlement and idolization of prior mass killers—and is part of a spectrum with more “everyday” misogyny and sexism.
