What we know about Louis Theroux’s new Netflix manosphere documentary

Louis Theroux's new Netflix documentary, 'Inside the Manosphere,' investigates an online ecosystem promoting misogyny, anti-feminism, and male grievance.
The documentary reveals a worldview where women are deemed less rational, monogamy is selectively applied, and gender equality is blamed for societal decline.
It exposes the manosphere's business model, which monetises male insecurity through subscription services and coaching, exemplified by figures like Justin Waller promoting Andrew Tate's 'The Real World.'
The film highlights the hypocrisy of some influencers and the formation of their audience, including young boys adopting misogynistic language and men feeling pressured to accumulate wealth and status.
Experts note that while the documentary explores the manosphere's origins, it could have further emphasised the real-world harms, such as increased harassment and gender-based violence in schools, which are linked to these narratives.
