Friend,

Have you watched Netflix’s “Adolescence”? The show that everyone is talking about highlights how the spread of extreme misogyny online can radicalize young men and destroy innocent lives.

Instead of limiting its reach, social media platforms are amplifying this toxic content created by a network of misogynistic communities known as the manosphere. In common, these groups promote deep resentment and hatred against women and girls.

Want to learn more about the manosphere? CCDH has created useful explainers to expand your understanding of the manosphere:

• Inside the manosphere: understanding extreme misogyny online.

• What is an incel?

• Who is Andrew Tate?

• Violence against women and girls online: explained.

Friend, the Netflix show is fiction, but online radicalization is real.

Raise awareness and help your friends and family understand the dangers posed by these toxic communities and social media platforms’ role in promoting extreme misogyny. Please share our explainer:

A safer internet for women, girls, and young men is possible. Together, we will make it happen.

Best wishes,

The CCDH Team
