Hi ,
During his successful election campaign, Donald Trump courted leading male influencers who are part of the so-called online 'manosphere'.
Figures such as Andrew Tate have used misogyny to gain huge followings, and their corrosive influence on young men has been significant.
How do we take action to provide better role models? How can we defeat the misogyny that is so prevalent online? And how do we challenge tech platforms platforming these hateful messages?
The Ferret is hosting a special event to discuss these issues, and chart a positive way forward.
'Man up? How positive action can beat online misogyny' will take place on Thursday, 5 December in Glasgow

Story of the week |
|
An in-depth look at a Ferret investigation |
|
|
 |
|
The United States government has established its first military site in Scotland since the 1990s, prompting fears of a “catastrophic” situation under an incoming Donald Trump administration.
The new base in Lossiemouth, Moray, opened in May. It marks the return of the US military to Scotland since it left after the end of the Cold War three decades ago.
The US navy helped fund the construction of facilities for its Poseidon P8 anti-submarine spy and war planes at the site, working alongside UK aircraft.
According to one expert, the new US facilities were “profoundly concerning” given Trump’s return to the White House in January. |
