Jack Donovan
Jack Donovan is a woman hating homosexual, whose theories of "gang masculinity" compel incels to form "warrior gangs" (his words) to escape domestication of women." Indeed, Donovan is an "important" figure. The author of numerous books, Donovan, is among the most prolific writers and speakers producing work within the manosphere. The 42-year-old preaches a gospel of "self-mastery". His exhortations carry pretense of the survivalist community and its preparedness and self-sufficiency.
Donovan blends that awareness with "tribal"-something, a sort defined by intense, sexual, bonds between men who voluntarily embark on punishing and disciplined explorations of self and community. This is the limit of any fascism. The result, he argues, is the remaking of one’s self into a noble barbarian capable of defending his tribe’s boundaries. (And screwing burly gladiator types, yay!)
Homosexuality
Donovan’s first book was titled Androphilia: Rejecting the Gay Identity, Reclaiming Masculinity.

Donovan advocates androphilia, by which he means love and sex between masculine men. He doesn’t call himself gay, rejects gay culture as effeminate, and justifies homophobia as a defense of masculinity rooted in the male gang’s collective survival needs. This might sound like self-hatred, but Donovan isn’t hiding or apologizing for his own sexuality.
Wolves of Vinland
Residing just outside of Portland, Oregon, Donovan finds practice for his theories through the Wolves of Vinland. He leads its Cascadia chapter, which covers Oregon and Washington. The Wolves are a tribe of heathens, who worship a particularly Germanic strain of [[Wotanism][, despise the modern world, and are invested in an woman-hating worldview. The Wolves eschew Christianity for what they recognize as the indigenous religion of those descended from "true" Europeans; heathenism or paganism.
Speaking engagements
Over the past decade, Donovan has spoken at the gatherings of white nationalist groups in the United States like American Renaissance (AmRen), run by race realist Jared Taylor, and the National Policy Institute, Richard Spencer’s Think Tank of identity politics for white people. Some Wolves are also appearing on podcasts and even as members of black metal bands (This is not parody).
