Future Perfect: Dr Stephanie Wescott on the Growing Influence of Toxic Masculinity
Dylan speaks with Dr Stephanie Wescott from Monash University about her research on gender equality amid the rising influence of the manosphere on young men in Australia.
Stephanie unpacks the surge in gendered abuse following the US election results, fueled by algorithms amplifying manosphere content from figures like Andrew Tate. With the Albanese government considering social media bans, together Dylan and Stephanie explore how Australia can counter these harmful influences and promote gender-equal relationships in schools without relying on outright bans.
