About this event
Join us at 12:30pm (AEST) on 17th July 2025 for this month's TASA Thursday Session: 'The male complaint: Understanding the manosphere & online misogyny.
Inspired by leaders such as Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson, the online Manosphere has exploded in recent years. Dedicated to anti-feminism, these communities have orchestrated online campaigns of misogynistic harassment, with some individuals going as far as committing violent terrorist attacks.
Although the Manosphere has become a focus point of the media, researchers and governments alike, discussions tend to either over-sensationalize the community or offer simplistic explanations for their existence. Using a mixture of historical and economic analysis, alongside actual Manosphere content, in this talk Simon Copland will delve deeper. Simon will explain how the Manosphere has developed and why it appeals to so many men. He argues that the Manosphere is not an aberration, but is deeply embedded within mainstream, neoliberal, social structures. For a cohort of alienated men, the promise of community provides a space of understanding, connection and purpose.
