The Anti-Defamation League just classified misogyny as a 'gateway' to extremism like white supremacy

The Anti-Defamation League for the first time has drawn an explicit connection between misogyny and violent extremism, the organization explained Tuesday. In a new report, the anti-Semitism and anti-hate group described the links between prejudice against women and other forms of violent hatred.

"There is a robust symbiosis between misogyny and white supremacy," the ADL wrote in the report. The organization described a "deep-seated loathing of women" as an important "connective tissue" among white supremacist groups, as well as the alt-right, men's rights activists, and "incels."

The connection between misogyny and white supremacy is undeniable. In our latest report, we examine how misogyny can be a gateway to extremism and the alt right: http://bit.ly/2OeDkur pic.twitter.com/hHfPLq57pP
