We Need to Talk about Heterosexual Boys and Men

    Press/Media: Expert Comment

    Description

    More work needs to be done to understand the causes, contexts and narratives underpinning the manosphere’s appeal, and it needs to be empathetic as well as critical. If we continue to dismiss the anxieties of heterosexual boys and men as little more than entitled special pleading, we will be guilty of exacerbating the sense of disenfranchisement on which figures like Andrew Tate successfully prey.
