New research reveals a shocking link: misogynistic views are the strongest predictor of support for violent extremism, sparking alarm as authorities recognize it as a national security threat. Surveying Australians—including teens as young as 13—the study found younger men more likely to hold hostile attitudes toward women, across political, religious, and online divides. Misogyny is now being classified as a form of violent extremism itself, tied to groups like incels and far-right movements. The Australian Federal Police confirm extremists often share misogynistic content, with online dating and pornography emerging as under-the-radar drivers. While these views remain minority-held, understanding this connection is critical to dismantling the roots of extremism.
