"Louis Theroux’s recent documentary Inside the Manosphere, alongside
Netflix’s 2025 hit drama Adolescence, has driven a spike in public discussion
about the “manosphere”. The term refers to a loose ecosystem of anti-feminist
online communities and influencers that promote male dominance and hostility
toward women.

Much of the public conversation about the manosphere focuses on how boys and
young men fall into these spaces. A new study by the Australian Institute of
Criminology asks a different question: how do some men manage to leave?"
