      Feminists have been writing about the online radicalization of misogynists for years. A lot of people have dismissed and ridiculed what we’ve said. But make no mistake: misogyny kills, both on a grand scale like this and on a much smaller, more personal scale.

      Unsurprisingly, the people clamouring yesterday to tailor this attack to fit their islamiphobic agenda are either silent today or else calling the information coming out a “government conspiracy”

      I’m already seeing the narrative shift to saying Alek Minassian was “mentally unstable.” But the systematic online misogynistic indoctrination of young men has nothing to do with mental illness & everything to do with a culture that doesn’t view women as people.

      This is an important thread on the subject of incels, toxic masculinity and Toronto:https://twitter.com/arshymann/status/988818797086871558 …

      For the past little while, I've been working on a piece about Toronto's relationship to the alt-right, especially the "manosphere." Unfortunately that research has become relevant. I'm going to share as much as I can here for people who may not be familiar with these movements.

      I’ve said this in reply to someone in this thread, but I’m going to put it here as well: mental illness is not the cause of the incel ideology. Loneliness, entitlement and misogyny are not mental illnesses.

      Mental illness is a complete cop-out when it comes to gender-based violence. Do some people who engage in gender-based violence experience mental illness? Sure. But if that was the root cause then we wouldn’t see these acts being committed almost exclusively by men.

      Until we look at gender-based violence through the lens of toxic masculinity, we’re not going to get anywhere. Blaming it on “mental illness” completely elides over the fact that we live in a misogynistic culture that glorifies a whole lot of dangerous attitudes toward women.

      And by the way, toxic masculinity /= masculinity. I dearly hope that one thing that comes out of these discussions the chance to think up ways to help men have a healthy relationship with masculinity.

      I know that a lot of young men struggle with their relationship to masculinity, and, in the absence of good role models for healthy masculinity, turn to things like the incel movement to explain the loneliness and disconnect they feel

      I see a lot of men expressing shock and dismay over the misogynistic radicalization of young men through incel communities. A lot of men are asking what they can do. Here’s the main thing men can do: model healthy masculinity to each other.

          This is important. Whenever I read "toxic masculinity" I somehow think "what did I do wrong? Why are you attacking me?" . I had to realize that you are NOT talk about me but about people who think women shouldn't be granted the same rights men are. About people who feel entitled

          to everything, who think women "owe" them sex. But since I am not like this, you aren't talking about me. I hope more men, who's initial reaction is similar to mine, can realize that this is NOT about "men vs women" but about a free scociety where everyone can feel safe.

          Anne. Look up the work of the Australian author Tim Winton. He writes extensively about young men's anger and what breeds it.

          "Women should be forced by the government to be our 'girlfriends'" isn't a "different opinion," it's hateful, toxic & dehumanising.

          I think that the lack of actual mental illness makes it particularly hard to fix incels. When their delusions have formed a reality backed up by a fairly large faction, how do you prove them wrong? It is also very important to try to replace these issues with positive masculinity

          I don't know what to do about those already conditioned, but as important is to ensure the next generation of boys grows up seeing the men they look up to experiencing and processing emotions in healthy ways.

          Actually its just model masculinity. Men need to be able to be dangerous. A man cant be strong without teeth. But a real man incorporates the danger and never lets it control him. Unhealthy masculinity is incomplete masculinity.
