Men like Roy Den Hollander are why I use the term "white male supremacy," and not just "white supremacy," in my book The Cult of the Constitution. These men's murderous, cowardly rage cannot be understood - or addressed - without recognizing its roots in both misogyny and racism.
His rantings typify what I call "victim-claiming," a tactic abusers use to cast themselves in the role of the vulnerable. This tactic is almost inevitably deployed to justify violence against the victim-claimer's supposed oppressors.
From his rantings: “The Feminists should be careful in their meddling with nature. There are 300 million firearms in this country, and most of them are owned by guys.” theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Another quote: “It makes no sense for men to disarm in the face of an evil that wants to exercise totalitarian power over them. They have a right to revolt against that tyranny, to take it down. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the tyranny of George III or the Feminists.”
Every day, women face sexist slurs, rape threats, "revenge porn," stalking, harassment, assault, & murder simply for disagreeing with or displeasing men. This reality is unconscionable, and so is any discussion of "cancellation" or "free speech" that doesn't take it into account.
