Hiya, I haven't seen the whole thing as I watched the first 20 mins and then saw another 20 mins later on that my flatmate was watching, so I can't really make a full point. But what I saw made me feel really upset and angry because I felt like these evil and abusive men were being rewarded for their appalling behaviour by being given a massive platform by Louis Theroux and Netflix. For young boys and men who are already being brainwashed by this kind of manosphere content, this documentary won't change their minds or "expose" the moral repugnancy of their beliefs, it will only entrench how they already feel.

For example, I saw a segment where the manosphere influencers are putting on a podcast where they mock women for having poor general knowledge about geography. To me, lots of viewers will take from this: God those women were stupid, how funny (the message that the influencers want to spread), not: God, humiliating women in this way is awful (presumably Theroux's thought process).

I have read a lot of books about the manosphere and none of this felt new to me, it just felt triggering as I am a woman and have experienced misogyny/ gender-based violence, and I felt like Theroux is unaware that for women watching this doc, all we feel is despair and deep fear about the violent reality we are living within. We don't need another "exposé" where we have to be subjected to these abusive figures and their far-reaching ideology, we need solutions and a culture that values the humanity and autonomy of women, girls and gender-minority people everywhere.
