What It's Like Being A Woman In The Alt-Right

OFTEN TIMES WHEN DISCUSSIONS ARE HAD ABOUT THE SO-CALLED ALTERED
RIGHTS, IT IS USUALLY IN REGARD TO PRETTY YOUNG WHITE MALES.
THE HATE RALLY THAT TOOK PLACE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE VIRGINIA
DISPLAYED A PRETTY LARGE NUMBER OF YOUNG, WHITE MALES.
HOWEVER,
THE ATLANTA ASKED THE QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT THERE WOMEN
WHO BELIEVE IN THAT MOVEMENT AND WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THAT
MOVEMENT AND SURE ENOUGH, THERE IS SOME PERCENTAGE OF WOMEN WHO
ARE PART OF THE OLD RIGHT.
HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT AS VOCAL.
GEORGE HOLLY WHO IS AN AUTHOR OF MAKING SENSE OF THE ALL RIGHT
ESTIMATES THAT AROUND 20% OF THE ALL RIGHT SUPPORTERS ARE WOMEN.
THAT IS WHAT HE CLAIMS.
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OTHER RESEARCH
INTO THAT, BUT HERE IS WHAT THE ATLANTIC BOUND FROM TALKING TO
SOME OF THE WOMEN WHO IDENTIFY AS PART OF
THE ALT RIGHT.
LETTER FROM CLAUDIA DAVENPORT WHO IS PART OF THE MOVEMENT.
I WANT TO RESPOND TO THAT REAL QUICK BEFORE YOU GUYS DO.
I
THINK IT IS AWESOME THAT YOU FEEL EMPOWERED BY THAT.
YOU
FEEL EMPOWERED BY LETTING A STRONGMAN TAKE CHARGE AND YOU
SHOULD DO YOU.
HOWEVER, IT IS NOT IN MY NATURE TO SIT BACK AND
HAVE A MAN TAKE CARE OF ME.
THAT GOES AGAINST MY NATURE SO
YOU DON'T GET TO DICTATE HOW I LIVE MY LIFE.
YOU DON'T GET TO
DICTATE WHAT MY NATURE IS HER TELL ME WHAT MY NATURE IS.
YOU
DO YOU, I DO ME.
THEY CLAIM THAT THEY WANT STRONGMAN.
THERE MEN HERE WHO
ARE TOO STRONG.
A LOT OF THESE GUYS, THEY ARE STRONG IN A PACK
AND THEN AS WE SAW IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, THE MINUTE THAT
THEY HAVE THE ROLES REVERSED ON THEM AND THEY LOVE TO THREATEN
VIOLENCE, ETC.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE SHOULD REVERSE ROLES ON
THEM AND I THINK VIOLENCE IS A TERRIBLE IDEA COMING FROM ANY
DIRECTION, BUT YOU SAW THE CRYING NOT SEE A COUPLE OF DAYS
AGO ON THE SHOW.
IVAN ARREST WARRANTS AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
THAT IS RIGHT.
AS AN ACT ACCURATELY CALLED IT, IT WAS A
CATASTROPHE.
I TURNED I READ TODAY, HE STARTED AS A MAN'S
RIGHT GUY.
THESE GUYS THAT THEY THINK ARE SO STRONG, THE MINUTE
THERE IS ANY KIND OF WHAT THEY PERCEIVED TO BE DANGER, THEY ARE
ALL IN A SENSE, GEORGE SIMMERMAN SAID.
THE CRYING KNOTS HE KEPT
TALKING ABOUT HOW HE WORKS OUT AND HE IS READY BUT THEN IT
TURNED OUT HE WASN'T ALREADY.
SO WHAT DO THEY DO?
THE
FIRST THING THEY DO IS REACH WITH A GUN BECAUSE THEY ARE
AFRAID.
THOSE OF THE SO-CALLED STRONGMEN THAT YOU ARE
SUPPORTING BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IF YOU LIKE THEM, YOU
LIKE THEM.
HAVE AT IT, BUT AS ANA SAID, YOU DON'T GET TO
SPEAK FOR EVERYONE.
EXACTLY TO THE THINKING, THESE ARE GUYS WHO
NEED A NEST.
YOU ARE SITTING IN A NEST LIKE A HAND, GUARDING HIS
EGGS.
HIS PRECIOUS EGGS AND THE FACT IS, HE CAN'T FEED HIMSELF.
YOU CAN'T DO HIS OWN LAUNDRY, HE CAN BARELY THINK.
HE CERTAINLY
CAN GO SHOPPING.
WITHOUT YOU, HE IS SCREWED.
SERIOUSLY.
HE CAN'T
EVEN THINK OR TALK TO YOU PUT THEM ON A CAMERA AS HE WAS
TALKING ABOUT HAVING AN ARREST WARRANT.
THE GUY MELTS DOWN.
MEANWHILE YOU ARE HAVING CHILDREN, RAISING THEM, COOKING
CLEANING AND GOD KNOWS WHATEVER ELSE HE HAS IN MIND SO HE
CAN LIVE AT LEAST AN UPPER LOWER CLASS LIFESTYLE.
WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THEY DO SEE MEN AS THE INDIVIDUALS
WHO SHOULD BE ON THE FRONT LINES PROTECTING PEOPLE AND PROTECTING
THE BORDERS BUT THEY THINK OF WOMEN AS NURTURERS.
BIOLOGICALLY THEY ARE BUILT TO BE NURTURERS AND NOTHING MORE
AND SO IT'S ALWAYS BEEN SUPER FASCINATING TO ME WHEN WOMEN
JOIN GROUPS LIKE THIS BECAUSE IN MY VIEW, THEY THINK LESS OF YOU
SO HOW CAN YOU AGREE WITH PEOPLE WHO THINK OF LESS OF YOU?
BELOW, IF THERE ARE WOMEN WHO ARE TURNED ON BY THE NOTION OF A
MAN HAVING THAT KIND OF POWER OVER HER, AGAIN, DO YOU.
I
DON'T CARE.
I HAVE NO INTEREST IN TELLING THESE WOMEN, NO.
YOU
HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND BE STRONG AND DO THIS AND NOT.
NO,
I WANT YOU TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT YOU FILL COMES TO THE LIVING BUT
AT THE SAME TIME, YOU DON'T GET TO TELL ME WHAT MY NATURE IS.
MY NATURE HAS NEVER BEEN TO BE SUBMISSIVE OR TO BE QUIET AND TO
NOT SHARE MY POINT OF VIEW.
MY NATURE IS TO BE STRONG.
MY
NATURE IS TO VOICE MY OPINION.
MY NATURE IS TO GO OUT THERE AND
WORK AND BE INDEPENDENT THOUGHT THAT IS THE PART THAT REALLY
UPSETS ME I GUESS BECAUSE IT IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE TELLING ALL
WOMEN, THIS IS THE WAY THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE, THIS IS WHAT
YOUR BIOLOGY IS.
THEIR IDEOLOGY IS NOT FREEDOM, YOU'RE FREE TO DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT.
THEIR IDEAL OGEE IS NO, WE'RE GOING TO
DICTATE IT.
THIS IS THE PROPER ROLE FOR MEN AND THIS IS WHAT
THEY SHOULD DO IN THIS IS THE PROPER ROLE FOR WOMEN AND YOU
SHOULD KNOW THAT.
AND IF YOU DON'T THEY WILL THEN INTIMIDATE
YOU ONLINE AND IF THEY GET AN OPPORTUNITY SOMETIMES LIKE IN
CHARLOTTESVILLE IN PERSON.
EVEN SOME OF THEIR, THIS IS REALLY
FUNNY.
THEY HAVE SOME OLD RIGHT WOMEN WHO ARE MORE PROMINENT.
THEY LIKE THEN BECAUSE THEY GET TO GO THERE ARE WOMEN ON OUR
SIDEÖ AR.
BUT AS HIS ARTICLE EXPLAINS, TWO OF THEM WHEN DID
THIS ONLINE VIDEO, A PODCAST AND THEY ARE LIKE SEE, WE ARE
NORMAL.
WE HAVE WOMEN THOUGHT WE ARE NOT BETAS, WE HAVE WOMEN.
GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?
OF COURSE MISOGYNY RAINED DOWN ON
THEM IN THE COMMENTS SECTION.
I THINK THEY ARE FEMINISTS IN
DISGUISE.
THESE WOMEN ARE THE SAME OLD TAINTED INTO STRONG WOMEN.
AND THEY INTENTIONALLY MISSPELLED WOMEN WITH A Y.
I THINK THAT IS A SLIGHT THE FEMINIST.
FOR ALL THE TALK OF WE LIKE WOMEN AS LONG AS THEY KNOW THEIR
ROLE.
NOT EVEN THEN.
THE MINUTE THEY SEE A STRONG WOMAN,
EVEN IF IT IS ON THEIR SIDE, THEIR MANHOOD IS SO THREATENED
BY THAT THAT THEY MELT DOWN LIKE A SNOWFLAKE.
IT IS WHY THEY PUT BURQAS ON WOMEN.
IT IS NOT BECAUSE THE
WOMEN ARE OUT OF CONTROL.
IT IS BECAUSE WE MEN BECOME TURGEON.
WE LOSE OUR DISCIPLINE SO WE HAVE TO DRESS
YOU UP AND IN THIS WAY, WE ARE SAFE AND NOT THREATENED.
MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALISTS ARE THE RIGHT WING OF THE MUSLIM
WORLD.
THEY ARE AGAINST FREEDOM AND YOU GETTING TO CHOOSE.
THEY SAY
MEN SHOULD DOMINATE JUST LIKE THESE GUYS IN THEIR OWN
CONTEXT OUT THERE, THE ALT RIGHT OF THE MUSLIM WORLD AND THAT IS
WHY THEY ARE ALSO SCARED OF WOMEN AND NEED TO COVER THEM UP
AND HAVE A VERY SIMILAR IDEOLOGY.
ALSO SAYING YOU
SHOULDN'T GET TO CHOOSE WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR LIFE, LIKE ANA WANTS
TO, I WANT TO, ETC.
WE GET TO DICTATE THE RULES.
THAT'S THE BIGGEST PROBLEM.
I WANA LEAVE WITH ONE KIND OF
FINAL COMPONENT IN ALL OF THIS WHICH I THINK IS SUPER RELEVANT.
THERE ARE MALE MEMBERS OF THE ALT RIGHT THAT THINK HAVING
WOMEN BE PART OF THEIR GROUP IS A POSITIVE THING AND IT IS
BECAUSE IT CAN HELP THEM RECRUIT INDIVIDUALS.
THEY DO HAVE AN
EASIER TIME RECRUITING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY OFTEN TIMES ARE
YOUNGER, ATTRACTIVE.
LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 14.
KELLY BAKER WHO IS
THE AUTHOR OF THIS PIECE, SAYS:
ALSO, VERY SIMILAR TO AN ISIS STRATEGY WHERE THEY RECRUIT
WOMEN AND THEY PROMISE THEM ALL SORTS OF THINGS ABOUT
STRONG AND GLORIOUS AND HONORABLE MEN WHO ARE GOING
TO DO THE FIGHTING AND THEN THEY WILL USE THE WOMEN TO TRY
TO LURE IN MORE FIGHTERS FROM EUROPE AND PARTS OF THE WORLD.
BUT IF THEY ARE NO LONGER VIRGINS, WHAT ROLE DO THEY
HAVE?
ISN'T THAT THE PLOT OF THE PLAY?
76
VIRGINS?
I THINK IT IS 72 AND MY FAVORITE PART OF THE STORY IS
THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE MISINTERPRETED THE QURAN.
IT
MIGHT ACTUALLY SAY NOT 72 VIRGINS BUT 72 DATES.
BASICALLY
THEY ARE JUST GETTING RAISINS.
BUT IMAGINE THE LOOK ON
MOHAMMED'S FACE WHEN HE IS LIKE RAISINS?
IT'S ALWAYS THE
SAME STORY.
WE HAVE SOMETHING GREAT FOR YOU WHETHER
THEY ARE ALT RIGHT MUSLIMS OR HATEFUL WHITE NATIONALIST.
JUST KIDDING, YOU HAVE TO LIVE BY MY RULES AND NOT WHAT
YOU ACTUALLY WANT.
