"[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

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

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

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.).

Two presentations with my and others'names on them were given today while I could have a domestic day: @laurafilardollamas.bsky.social on the discourse of supporters and opponents of Irish populust parties, and @alexiconartist.bsky.social on the latest @mantrap.bsky.social research - thank you both!
