Fascinating interview with Donna Zuckerberg (sister of that Zuckerberg), who's primarily a classicist, but has spent the past couple of years researching a widespread alliance of men's rights activists, pick-up artists and the far right using classical history to justify a narrative in which they are the ones being oppressed and denied their traditional rights. She's now written a book on it, Not All Dead White Men, which I think is a brilliant title. 

The interview makes an interesting, and worrying, read, though I could have wished for a little less on Zuckerberg family history and more on her research. And why does a interview with an avowed feminist, talking about men's attempt to strip women of their rights, and written by a woman, feel a need to include a physical description of her?
