Can Understanding Misogyny Stop Gun Violence? - With Cynthia Miller Idriss

About this episode

Brad Gage interviews Cynthia Miller Idriss about the connection between misogyny and gun violence.

Today, Brad talks with Cynthia Miller-Idriss - a leading scholar in the study of extremism, radicalization, and polarization. Her work bridges academic research and practical interventions. Her new book is called "MAN UP: The New Misogyny and the Rise of Violent Extremism". In the wake of some pretty high profile gun violence the past few months, Cynthia's expertise is more needed than ever. And we talk about what's really going on with men and guns and how she pinpoints the "why is this happening" part of the whole post-mass-shooting narrative.
