Why should we care about the Manosphere?
It’s a loose network of online influencers, forums, and content creators who claim to offer men a roadmap to success - promising wealth, control, and dominance in relationships. But beneath that surface lies something far more complex and far more troubling... Through viral clips, podcasts, and paywalled courses, these figures are shaping how a generation of young men understand masculinity, women, and power. It’s a space where dissatisfaction is reframed as truth and where misogyny isn’t just normalised - it’s monetised. Chloe McPolin speaks to Crime World’s Roisin Gorman to pull back the curtains on Louis Theroux’s documentary Inside the Manosphere - one of the most concerning subcultures yet. Hosted on Acast.
