According to the United Nations, the "manosphere" is emerging as a serious threat to "gender equality, as toxic digital spaces increasingly influence real-world attitudes, behaviours, and policies."
Chief of the Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Section at UN Women, Kalliopi Mingeirou states that we are now seeing an increase of young men turning to influencers for "guidance on issues like dating, fitness, and fatherhood." These young boys find "strength" in online communities who "promote harmful attitudes that distort masculinity and fuel misogyny."
Ms. Mingeirou told the United Nations that "the abuse not only damages their mental and physical wellbeing but also poses a serious risk for democracy in general," and that women and girls are feeling less comfortable "to be exposed to the risks and threats when they engage in digital platforms and we often see women journalists, women politicians who tend to not engage, because they are afraid of the impact it has on them”.
British-American journalist and host, Louis Therous is known for his work on taboo subjects, with his previous work including Weird Weekends, The Most Hated Family in America, My Scientology Movie, and Louis and the Nazis. He has been awarded by British Academy Television and Royal Television Society Television for his work. Theroux's most recent work is a film titled 'The Settlers' which aired in April of 2025. As described by the BBC, the film follows Louis Theroux as he "meets some of the growing community of religious-nationalist Israelis who have settled in the occupied West Bank."
