In this episode, our guest Meadhbh speaks on the Incel ideology, which is part of a broader online network of anti-feminist and male-supremacist groups called the "manosphere". Members typically blame women, society, and "genetics" for their situation and express a deep-seated sense of victimhood and anger. 

Meadhbh is a researcher and author who specializes in the "manosphere". She has written a book titled Blackpilled: Masculinity, Media and Incels, which analyzes the "blackpill" ideology.

The final episode of this three-part mini-series examines women's roles in the movement. We explore the consequences of gendered roles within the ideology and how rigid roles and polarized identities can perpetuate inequality, fuel division, and distort our sense of self and community. We reflect on the personal costs of these extremes, examine the social and cultural forces that perpetuate them, and consider pathways out of hate-fueled violence and the ideologies that perpetuate these rigid roles. Let's go ahead and get into it.
