.milleridriss: How the far-right uses motherhood to manipulate and recruit women
On the extremist fringe, women still represent the significant minority of violent and nonviolent engagement. And to be clear, women also are often victims of tremendous misogyny, harassment or worse at the hands of men within those movements.on women in white supremacist movements has described racist skinhead men who refer to women in their group as"oi toys" and who are proud to dominate their wives or girlfriends.
But it is important to recognize the ways that motherhood is used to recruit and defend women’s engagement in violent or antidemocratic movements, including to try to mitigate culpability in criminal or violent activities. The GWU report analyzed how motherhood is used in women’s Jan. 6 legal defenses to make women appear more sympathetic, by emphasizing their caretaking roles and status as “good” mothers and grandmothers who are devoted to their husbands and families.
It’s easy to understand why calling on women to protect their children from unimaginable harm is effective. But that’s also what makes it so dangerous. Because motherhood itself is being used to manipulate women and to recruit, mobilize and justify violent and antidemocratic actions.
