About this listen

Includes an exclusive interview between the author and Ben Hurst, head of facilitation and training at The Good Lad Initiative and presenter of the TedxLondonWomen talk 'Boys won’t be boys. Boys will be what we teach them to be'.

An explosive book examining the rise of secretive, extremist communities who despise women. In this ground-breaking investigation, Laura traces the roots of misogyny across a complex spiders web of groups extending from men's rights activists and pick-up artists to Men Going Their Own Way, trolls and the Incel movement, in the name of which some men have committed terrorist acts.

Drawing parallels with other extremist movements around the world, Bates seeks to understand what attracts men to the movement, how it grooms and radicalises boys, how it operates and what can be done to stop it.

Most urgently of all, she traces the pathways this extreme ideology has taken from the darkest corners of the internet to emerge covertly in our mainstream media, our playgrounds and our parliament.

Going undercover on and offline, Laura provides the first, comprehensive look at this hitherto under-the-radar phenomenon, including fascinating interviews with former members of these communities, the academics studying this movement and the men fighting back.

I didn't think I was unaware of any of these issues, but I still discovered a lot of things throughout the book. Some parts were hard to listen to, but that's why we need to listen.
I've experienced a lot of the same things in this book and I kind of thought it was normal. It sounds absurd coming from someone else, though.
I say give the book a chance; the topics need awareness.

Lovely narration by the author.

Informative - wasn't expecting to learn so much

This is definitely worth a listen because we need to be aware about dangerous inceldom.
