@craighaslop.bsky.social’s paper outlined the value of an ecosystems approach to misogyny influencers and the “ideological collabs” in which they engage. He argued for a focus on collaborated content as well as the promotional, financial, and interpersonal connections that characterise this space.

We’re living through a fundamental shift in how discourse is created. Institutions once shaped a shared reality through discourse - imperfectly, but with structure. Now, that reality has splintered. In its place, engagement-driven ecosystems amplify whatever resonates, truth optional.

Yes, this simply doesn’t make sense, but is just legitimising and encouraging transphobia—there is no other way of seeing it. Trans people are a small minority and already heavily discriminated against—easy to pick on in a culture war designed to create hate and division.

I love this. It’s a great example of theory being really put to work, and it raises so many questions about research ethics in a real (rather than tickbox) way. Lots of relevance beyond its specific topic of boys/ masculinity for all kinds of research.

Mind the (Feminine) Gap:
Documenting Femmephobic Knowledge Production and the Masculinization
of Expertise


Abstract
The field of femininities has arguably existed for over six decades, but it was not
until 2024 that a journal emerged as a home for scholarship in the field. In contrast,
the field of masculinities has had a journal since 1998. Likely owing to the greater
number of academic structures supporting the field, scholars produce masculinity
research at a rate 2.77 times higher than femininity research, and they face negative
career consequences when focusing their research on femininity or using methods
deemed to be feminine. In this article, we explore the potential reasons for, and
consequences of, this ‘feminine gap,’ with a focus on femmephobic processes of
knowledge production and the masculinization of expertise. We then introduce the
Journal of Femininities as a partial remedy to this gap through its aim to provide
a home for femininities scholarship and a reexamination of the world through a
feminine lens of inquiry.
