It seems pretty clear to me that what we’ve been told about radicalization for the last 10 years is exactly the opposite of what’s happened in reality. We’ve been told that men are increasingly radicalized to the right and that this is a bad thing. What’s actually happened is that women have increasingly radicalized to the left.
