We asked our readers how toxic male influences have changed the men in their lives, and they responded with disturbing stories.
Supporters of the “alpha male” ideology — a term adopted by the manosphere to describe what they consider the optimal version of manhood — were dealt a blow when rising star Andrew Tate was deplatformed across several social media sites in quick succession in August.
The former kickboxer and purported self-made millionaire found infamy online as one of the foremost influencers in an ecosystem of toxic male figures by defending traditional Western gender roles and preaching the gospel of misogyny. He and other creators like him position themselves as being coaches, teaching hypermasculinity and “hustle” society — through social media, podcasts, videos, and online courses — to millennial and Gen Z men.

The Gay Man’s guide to creating a profile that speaks to who you are. Plus: two profile red flags to glance out for.
