>A disturbing exposé of how today’s Alt-Right men’s groups use ancient sources to promote a new brand of toxic masculinity online.

>A virulent strain of antifeminism is thriving online that treats women’s empowerment as a mortal threat to men and to the integrity of Western civilization. Its proponents cite ancient Greek and Latin texts to support their claims―arguing that they articulate a model of masculinity that sustained generations but is now under siege.

>Donna Zuckerberg dives deep into the virtual communities of the far right, where men lament their loss of power and privilege and strategize about how to reclaim them. She finds, mixed in with weightlifting tips and misogynistic vitriol, the words of the Stoics deployed to support an ideal vision of masculine life. On other sites, pickup artists quote Ovid’sArs Amatoriato justify ignoring women’s boundaries. By appropriating the Classics, these men lend a veneer of intellectual authority and ancient wisdom to their project of patriarchal white supremacy. In defense or retaliation, feminists have also taken up the Classics online, to counter the sanctioning of violence against women.

She is actually facebook's sister, not some other person with a (((name))).
Also if icrecall she got btfo by actual classical studies and middle age studies folks online.
Classical studies is being inundated with english majors who try to push their marxist shit on it without being properly informed as to the culture and transit of information in the time they are talking about. Making huge fools of themselves, it is actually a big issue in the area at the moment.

Why would anyone write a book about it? No one takes the aut-right bullshit seriously beyond underaged teens, who wouldn't read a fucking book in the first place. If she were interested in convincing this crowd, she should've done memes.

Half true, she also built an entire online journal to publish likeminded propaganda shit about the Classical era. Anything a yuppy sister of a billionaire says shouldn't be taken too lightly though I don't see her as much

Its more likely she genuinely finds what they're saying provoking (and dare I say, arousing) and she can't get the ideas out of her said so her only response to write about them hoping they'll go away

When you write a book about misogynist boogeymen on moldy internet forums, you are clearly afraid of something and want to alert other political allies.

>> No.11805372

>>11805328
Misogyny is nothing new and it sounds like she writes about crap anyone who cares about the topic would realize right away. There is nothing to alert anyone, at least based on the info available. As some anon wrote, it's just vanity publishing of some stuff she picked up in the media and had a slightly deeper look at.
