Male Supremacism in the United States is a timely editorial collection providing analysis of current patriarchal, misogynistic, and antifeminist threats in the U.S. The book theorizes how male supremacism-the system that disproportionately privileges cis men and subordinates women, trans men, and nonbinary people-and its accompanying ideology of male superiority undergird many of the most crucial phenomena of our time.

.

The book examines how male supremacism manifests in three ways: as patriarchal traditionalism, as secular male supremacism, and in its intersections with other systems of oppression. From anti-abortion activism to misogynist incels to the Proud Boys, the collection illustrates how male supremacism plays a vital role in right-wing recruitment and organizing. The volume's contributions illuminate unique aspects of male supremacist ideology, practice, and culture. Together, they provide a sweeping overview of the development and deployment of male supremacism in the U.S. This book will be of value to anyone studying or researching male supremacism, gender, feminism, women's studies, hate studies, and the far right.
