Men with assault rifles, balaclavas and Hawaiian shirts pulled over
bulletproof vests. Horned warriors with painted faces and fur
headdresses draped over their naked torsos. The storming of the
Capitol brought together men who had previously come across one
another only online in the Manosphere. These were men with a common
interest, followers of a male-supremacist ideology, who rioted in
order to fight for their privilege. Before then, the world had
looked on as devastating attacks were carried out by incels: those
who seek to gain unfettered access to women's bodies by redrawing
the hierarchy of the sexes in order to ensure the subjugation of
women. For all of these men, masculinity is a political project,
and the events at the Capitol were one episode in a growing
movement. From the US and Canada to New Zealand, from Poland to
Brazil, right-wing extremists, religious fundamentalists and male
supremacists are coming together in order to translate their
reactionary dreams of male domination into politics, underscoring
the masculine roots of the authoritarian backlash.
