Algorithms are amplifying antifeminist masculinities
By Maya Del Rio Reddan
The online world of boys and young men in the post-Andrew Tate moment is now saturated with masculinity influencers who take ideas, advice, talking points and ideologies from the ‘manosphere’ – a loose online network of men’s interest communities known for its virulent misogyny, coordinated antifeminist campaigns and cases of extreme real-world violence.
Whether it’s manipulative dating strategies, get-rich-quick schemes, or extreme discipline and fitness content, an entire ecosystem of masculinity influencers are now selling their version of how to be a “real man”.
"Interrogating the logics of the things that mediate our information environments is critical in the struggle against gender-based violence."
