"[MGTOW] been described as misogynistic, but Ofcom’s interviewees insisted it was not because it was about choosing to live without women, not hating them." Fun fact: there is rather a lot of woman hating source: I literally wrote a book about this group

When your team's work - based on six years of research - gets cited but the core message is ignored, because 38 men say it's no big deal 😡 @mantrap.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Society may have overestimated risk of the ‘manosphere’, UK researchers say
Many who engage are ‘discriminating and value-driven’, with a minority consuming ‘extremely misogynistic content’, study for Ofcom suggests

Today, the @mantrap.bsky.social team presented our research on the language of the manosphere to senso.cloud/en-GB, a company developing safeguarding software. We talked about manosphere-specific words, ordinary words in specific co-texts and discourse features beyond words (syntax, grammar etc.).

There should be no place for violent misogyny and sex trafficking rapists on Spotify. Two of Tate's "courses" have been removed, but one still remains. You can join this email campaign to demand Spotify remove it: www.collectiveshout.org/contact-spot...
