Unmasking the Manosphere

Reviews / Votes

"This book acts as a stark yet necessary insight and tool for all educators. As a young female teacher who has been sexually harassed multiple times, it's refreshing to see a male teacher call for schools and Government to do more to protect teachers and students, whilst encouraging classrooms built on empathy, understanding and respect. Honest, real-life testimonies and practical tips and scripts make some really heavy issues as easily digestible as they can be, whilst not shying away from the terrifying reality of misogyny in our schools."- Georgia Theodoulou, teacher and award-winning VAWG campaigner.

"Timely and compelling, this book tackles the challenge of misogyny with clarity, compassion, and conviction. It offers accessible insights and practical strategies to help boys and schools become active agents of change. While fully acknowledging the seriousness and scale of the issue, it never loses sight of the potential for progress. Grounded in realism but driven by hope, this is an indispensable guide that empowers educators and communities to take meaningful action, making it an invaluable resource for anyone committed to fostering respect, equality, and lasting cultural transformation."- Lisa Sugiura, Professor in Cybercrime and Gender

'A sober reminder of the content accessible within a few clicks for many young people in our settings. Rather than turning a blind eye, wishing it weren't the case, we need insights about the nature of the problem. We also need to understand the vulnerability of many young people drawn to the Manosphere: it's often related loneliness and deep sadness. So, what can schools do? There are no quick fixes, but expert insights and advice grounded in the belief that young people need to be heard, taken seriously and feel that they belong. Those of us working in schools need to know about the Manosphere and we also need support to navigate it. We have both from Matt Pinkett, one of the deepest thinkers and practitioners on this subject.' - Mary Myatt, education writer and speaker

"This book is such an important read. It challenges outdated ideas of masculinity with honesty and compassion, while giving teachers (and parents) the tooks they need to help boys embrace empathy and authenticity. As someone passionate about gender equality and raising the next generation, I can't recommend it enough." - Ashley James - Broadcaster
