Lecture by Dr. Jacob Johanssen
There are numerous online communities that belong to the so-called "mannosphere" and are known for their hatred of women and their proximity to the "alt-right movement", the alternative right in the USA.
What drives these people? What fantasies and images of physicality, gender and sexuality are constructed and exchanged in these forums?
