Thx Elinor. Indeed, if people want to see evidence of how short sighted Ofcoms report is, they should also check out my work with Jessica Ringrose, Betsy Milne and Idil Combozoglu which looks at how manosphere discourses are mainstreamed journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Brilliant, thx Lizzie.

Using this approach in the toolkit, we work to develop young men's awareness of how misogyny gets normalised, its impact on women and how they can safely challenge it in their friendship groups. The toolkit has been developed with our partners Beyond Equality, Survivors Network and Metro.

Craig Haslop, Masculinities and Screen Studies @craighaslop.bsky.social · Jun 18

Some young men find it hard to challenge because they want to fit in with the affective dynamics of friendship groups. We argue it is important to draw on affect theories, to develop exercises for use with young men, to help them become aware of the homosocial dynamics of their friendship groups.

Our research with 18-25 year old men across the UK, highlighted banter is an important form of homosocial currency which brings young men together. The study highlighted that misogynistic and homophobic banter can be normalised especially in relatively private space of friends' online chat groups.

Thx @elinorcarmi.bsky.social

Yes, the issue here is that we know well that many boys and men can be selective about what content interests them fron the manosphere or misogyny influencers such as Tate, but that interest still legitimises their views and normalises their misogyny.

@craighaslop.bsky.social’s paper outlined the value of an ecosystems approach to misogyny influencers and the “ideological collabs” in which they engage. He argued for a focus on collaborated content as well as the promotional, financial, and interpersonal connections that characterise this space.

We’re living through a fundamental shift in how discourse is created. Institutions once shaped a shared reality through discourse - imperfectly, but with structure. Now, that reality has splintered. In its place, engagement-driven ecosystems amplify whatever resonates, truth optional.

Yeah, and that some of the ‘black box’ elements of AI are not understood.

Craig Haslop, Masculinities and Screen Studies @craighaslop.bsky.social · Jan 19

lol. But AI can’t get to grips with the emosh angle 😉.

I wonder whether AI will be able to decide who wins.

It’s a third year course, so the students are pretty engaged as well. I always enjoy teaching it. Good excuse for me to rewatch lots of old TV too :).

Craig Haslop, Masculinities and Screen Studies @craighaslop.bsky.social · Jan 19

lol, with the current state of AI simulation that could throw up some very interesting visuals 😅.
