Kaitlyn Tierney is the co-founder and CEO of Diverting Hate<\/a>. Diverting Hate is a U.S based organization that uses diversion tactics to disrupt the algorithm and direct young men to social supports. The organisation\u2019s mission is to make misogynistic rabbit holes, \u201cimpossible to fall into.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diverting Hate originated as a class project Tierney was involved in while completing her master’s degree at the Middlebury Institute in California.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a nationwide competition funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Tierney and classmates were tasked with finding a way to prevent targeted violence through shared experiences and values.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt the foundations of most extremist ideas is misogyny, so we were trying to work backwards from how it is that someone might become radicalised online specifically.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe honed in on Incel ideology as our focus. What are some of the grievances and characteristics of someone that is indoctrinated into inceldom?\u201d says Tierney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incel stands for unintentionally celibate, a community of men who find themselves unable to form the romantic or sexual relationships they desire, and as a result are angry at women and society. In recent years, Incel activity has been responsible for terror attacks motivated by hatred for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of an investigation into Australia’s incel community a team from SBS Australia interviewed a young man who identifies as an incel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
