AntiSocial - 'Extreme' Misogyny
Should some forms of misogyny be classed as extremism?
After the Government announced it would look at ‘extreme misogyny’ in a review of its counter-extremism strategy, a fierce row kicked off on social media.
Would creating a category of ‘extreme misogyny’ be a long-overdue move, or dangerous overreach that risks labelling young men and boys as radical?
We look at the kind of misogynist content the government might be worried about, what the law does and doesn’t say about extremism, and how the government’s de-radicalisation programme Prevent is already dealing with forms of misogyny.
Guests:
Ally Fogg, co-founder of the Men & Boys Coalition
Dr Charlotte Proudman, barrister and founder of campaign group Right to Equality
Dr Joe Whittaker, lecturer in Criminology, Sociology and Social Policy at Swansea University.
