Title: "The Macho State: Fascism as Gender Politics"

Description: "Fascism is a political project that centers a cult of a leader who promises national restoration in the face of supposed humiliation by liberals, socialists, feminists, ethnic, religious and sexual minorities, and immigrants. How does gender fit into this project? In this talk, I argue that gender is not simply one component of fascism; it is the core of fascism. The concept of Man -- the triune identity of the Adult Human Male -- is the fundamental glue that holds fascist politics together."
