"There’s a lot of debate around the extent to which the manosphere is playing
out in young people’s lives and relationships.

Some suggest claims about its malevolence are misplaced. Others think just
because something happens on the internet doesn’t mean it affects lives
offline.

But this is in spite of a significant body of international evidence
demonstrating otherwise.

In this post-digital world, there is little or no delineation between what’s
viewed and experienced online and what’s lived in the “real world”. This means
we have to consider the potential harms of the manosphere not as remote or
abstract, but as very real, and not to be underestimated or dismissed."
