Thank you, Ms. Holland.
Mr. Carolo, as you noted, your work with White Ribbon has long focused on preventing gender-based violence by addressing the social norms and cultural narratives that shape boys' understanding of masculinity. I know that Next Gen Men, whom I had the pleasure of meeting yesterday, operates in a similar space.
In an article with GlobeNewswire about a White Ribbon campaign called “My Friend Max Hate”, which you referred to in your opening remarks, you state, “It's alarming to see the growing impact of the manosphere and how they are conditioning vulnerable populations such as teens, particularly young men”.
What patterns are you seeing in how algorithmic content and influencer culture are shaping early attitudes towards gender? What makes these online narratives so effective at pulling vulnerable young men into misogynistic world views?
