Lancet report links manosphere to hidden health harms

A new Lancet report identifies the online manosphere as a source of under‑recognised health damage and recommends a coordinated public‑health response. It connects participation in these communities with social isolation, reluctance to seek mental health care and increased gender‑based violence. The authors argue that content moderation alone will not curb the appeal of the manosphere and call for broader social and economic policies, including employment and social‑protection measures, to address underlying economic insecurity.
