What role do women play in male-dominated political movements? Join us for a discussion based on the research paper How the Rhetoric of Women in the Alt-Right Broadens the Movement’s Appeal by Richard A. Nielsen and Eliza R. Oak.
The talk explores how women in the alt-right movement use more extreme racist and sexist rhetoric than men, gaining attention and increasing the movement’s reach. By analyzing over 12,000 YouTube videos, the study reveals how women’s content generates more engagement and amplifies the most radical ideas, helping them gain influence in a male-dominated space.
