It’s a very dark reflection on the state of Australian politics that Labor (including Albanese) seem more satisfied with defeating Bandt than Dutton.
Progressive voters are tricking themselves into thinking this election was a great result, but Australia’s centre of gravity keeps going right.

i have much to say about this but for now:
i think to demarcate the “womanosphere” from the manosphere neglects a) how deeply inextricable these phenomena are; each rely on the other to exist and b) that women have long played a role in organising, validating, and amplifying right-wing movements

While the women behind "womanosphere" outlets all have different styles and tactics, they are mostly aligned in their desire to return to a gender-essentialist worldview: women as submissive homemakers, men as strong providers.
Now comes the ‘womanosphere’: the anti-feminist media telling women to be thin, fertile and Republican

I wrote for Pursuit about the biggest water cooler moment of the year so far, Adolescence, and its portrayal of the manosphere: pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/wha...
What Adolescence gets right (and wrong) about the manosphere
The Netflix series Adolescence raises the important issue of online radicalisation and the manosphere – but there’s no easy solution, says a University of Melbourne expert.

my podcast debut!!! thank you to my wonderful friend Louis for having me on and letting me nerd out about the topic that occupies most of my brain space 🥰
Latest ep of Ideas Matter is out now!
I interviewed @boredclaud.bsky.social about her research on incels and the manosphere.
Learn about what it means to be black-pilled versus red-pilled, and how Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate are normalising misogyny.
