The Trouble with the Manosphere
05/02/23 • 16 min
This first episode looks at the phenomenon of the manosphere, a broad label for the online networks that connect pickup artists, men going their own way, involuntary celibates, and men's rights activist, among others. Despite important differences between them, each group promotes the idea that it is men – and not women – who are the real victims of gender discrimination and sexism. This episode features as a guest Finola Laughren, a PhD candidate examining different feminist responses to the manosphere.
