Boebert, Greene and the Peril of Internalized Misogyny

Misogyny, Murder and the Men’s Rights Movement
The anti-feminist men’s rights movement advocates for a male supremacist ideology, and is described as “a thinly veiled desire for the domination of women and a conviction that the current system oppresses men in favor of women.”
