Neo Nazis, Alt-Right, and White Supremacists encircle and chant at counter protesters at the base of a statue of Thomas Jefferson after marching through the University of Virginia campus with torches in Charlottesville, Virginia, Aug. 11, 2017.
These men, most of them white, fear that their cultural, political, and economic supremacy is being undercut by women and people of color — even in a country in which the faces of the most powerful are still overwhelmingly white and male. I’ve spent the last eight years chronicling some of the angriest white men in America, watching as the rising alt-right took many of the most backwards notions about women from men’s rights activists and their ilk and worked them into their own hateful, racist, misogynistic spew. Many in the overwhelmingly male-dominated alt right despise women — including white women — at least as much as they hate immigrants and Jewish people.Xenophobia and sexual anxiety have long gone hand in hand.
