"Interest in the manosphere has recently surged yet again, with the recent
Louis Theroux documentary catapulting the term “manosphere” back to the
forefront of our cultural psyche.
The term has become a catchall for the most inflammatory content and
communities in young men’s digital worlds. Alarm bells are ringing, but our
understanding of what the manosphere actually is – where it begins and ends –
has more questions than answers.
As concern grows, so does the ambiguity around how to define the manosphere and
how young men actually experience it. Our policy responses, interventions and
public discourse assume it’s one thing, one ideology, populated by one type of
young man: a singular algorithmic journey from loneliness to radicalisation. It
isn’t, and overlooking the complexity and nuance misses large parts of the
problem.
So what is it instead? Our new research answers this question."
