"Manosphere Podcasts and Political Divide: The Widening Gender Gap Among Gen Z"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Business Insider
The ideological gap between Gen Z's young men and women is widening, with young men showing less liberal beliefs and support for feminist movements. The influence of "the Manosphere" and anti-feminist podcasters, such as Andrew Tate and Myron Gaines, has contributed to the spread of extreme ideas and ideologies. This has led to concerns about the impact on societal attitudes towards gender roles and women's safety, with experts linking "men's rights activists" to a risk for women. The internet's amplification of these ideas has created an echo chamber for extreme views, and the influence of social media algorithms is seen as a contributing factor to the widening divide.
