The Misogynist Civil War Within the Alt-Right [vanityfair.com]

While Time’s selection of the #MeToo “Silence Breakers” as its “Person of the Year” underscores the seismic changes rippling through American society when it comes to sexual harassment, the reality is not quite so simple if you look to your right.

It’s especially tough, it appears, if you look to your far right, according to Right Richter, a newsletter crafted on the side by Will Sommer, an editor at The Hill in Washington, D.C., who follows the right-leaning press in his spare time.

His latest issue examines how female personalities on the so-called alt-right are being attacked viciously by, yes, men on the alt-right, despite the fact that the women are “politically indistinguishable from their mostly male audience. They call for a return to a particular brand of traditional or 'trad' values, and they really don't like Muslim immigrants.”

But, “That hasn't stopped many young male right-wing figures from dubbing them thots,which stands for ‘That Ho Over There,’ a pejorative shorthand.”

Sommer explained to me, “Female YouTube provocateurs helped drive the rise of the alt right. But as those same women now find themselves harassed by their fans and pressured to get married and live a 'traditional' life, they're finding that the alt right needs some feminism of its own.”

Interesting! I wonder how this will turn out?

“Suddenly, the men of the alt right realized that their Internet girlfriend might not be as racist as they had hoped, and complained that they had been taken for suckers.”

What Sommer calls a “full-scale freakout” against women of the far right has ensued. At the forefront is a former D.C. pick-up artists who goes by Roosh V. He “intoned to his followers on YouTube about how they had been grifted by the 'tradthots.'”

Women, can't live with them, can't be white supremacist without them!
