Following Louis Theroux’s documentary on Netflix, debates on misogyny and the manosphere have uncovered worrying figures and trends; a large, global scale survey by King’s College London found that almost a third of Gen Z men agree that a wife should always obey her husband. 

The manosphere is an ecosystem of online communities and groups that spread harmful views about gender, masculinity and women, growing through influencers and social media algorithms and shaping many young boys’ beliefs across the globe.

Petrie speaks to Ted Newson from Young Voices UK, who gives his personal account on his experience in the manosphere. Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Criminology, Dr Andrew Fergus Wilson, gives his professional view on this growing trend. Finally she hears from you and what you think it is to be a man.
