Men who hate women: A new book takes us deep into online misogyny 

Bates spent 18 months “wading through bile” in the online 'manosphere'.

“Imagine a world in which the hatred of women is actively encouraged, with sprawling, purpose-built communities of men dedicated to fuelling and inflaming the cause… a world in which thousands of men band together, demonising and railing against evil, soulless, greedy women, graphically plotting their rape and destruction. Imagine a world in which some men actually enact such fantasies… a world in which vulnerable men, lost boys, and confused, scared teenagers are swept up and preyed upon by such communities.”

 Where are we? A Margaret Atwood dystopia? Nope.
