OCTOBER THEME: Alt Right Violence, Misogyny & Social Media
Why are a disproportionate majority of mass shooters male? Why are young boys in school telling their female peers “your body, my choice?” Why did the media fail to mention that the man who killed Minnesota lawmakers was also planning to target abortion providers and advocates? Dr. Cynthia Miller-Idriss discusses these questions as well as the rise of online misogyny and violent extremism with Jennifer Rubin of the Contrarian.
We’ll uncover the intersection of far-right ideologies and misogyny, young men’s vulnerabilities to influencers online and rhetoric aggrandizing “traditional manhood”, the neo-natalist movement and male supremacy, and how the alt-right’s obsessive fixation on child predators harms the LGBTQ+ community.
Our gatherings, called salons, are throwbacks to earlier times in history when people came together to share thought provoking ideas. That’s our goal was well as create community among our like-minded tribe and discuss social and cultural issues that affect our lives. Our new location has the following perks:
Evening Potluck Gatherings
Firm Calendar Date – Third Monday Evenings
Comfortable and Convenient Location
Handi-cap Access
Children Welcome
Audio-Visual Capability
Fully Equipped Kitchen
Indoor/Outdoor Space
Ample Parking — use the Hull and Hull Parking lot if street parking becomes tight
We hope you’ll join us for the next Salon!
