Man Enough

Boys and young men are facing a crisis: misogynistic beliefs and behaviour, amplified by the internet's echo chamber, are gaining significant traction. The 'manosphere' is unregulated, seductive and full of misinformation. Its influencers prey on boys' normal insecurities to monetise toxic narratives which blame women and girls. It's no wonder so many are unable to resist. Drawing on the authors' expertise with Shout Out UK, the award-winning social enterprise providing political and media literacy training, Man Enough will teach parents how to talk so their boys will listen. From online safety, to spotting fake news and building emotional resilience, this reassuring guide will empower parents to help their sons build resistance to manipulation and lead healthier online lives. This is how to talk to boys about the toxic manosphere - and de-radicalise those already in its grip.
