Young men open up about the pull of the manosphere

Key points

• Four young Australian men describe how manosphere content reached them through social media algorithms. Jak, 18, said workout videos led to messages about women and money.
• Flynn, 24, said his online content became prejudiced before he was hospitalised with a bipolar diagnosis. Bodie, 27, said online gaming friends adopted misogynistic attitudes.
• Each now says they are moving away from that content.
