Summary

Did we all need a streaming manosphere documentary? Many did. Did we need one made in the GenX stop-and-mug slacker analysis-avoiding style of Louis Theroux? Debatable. Today we review Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere: its aesthetic mimicry of manosphere style, a potential ethics issue, how monetizing misogyny interacts with the gigwork incentives of OnlyFans, how all the bravado covers for legitimate fears, but only pays out at the top.  Many Mexican Americans this past week were devastated to learn that a hero of the UFW and the broader Chicano Movement, Cesar Chavez, was a coercive serial abuser and pedophile. I say many: because many women knew, connected and informed by a whisper network dating back over decades, and maintained by the pressure to not degrade the status and gains of the movement itself. Off the top today, we look at the influence of the Synanon cult on Chavez’s tactics. Show Notes Cesar Chavez, a Civil Rights Icon, Is Accused of Abusing Girls for Years Oregon institutions reckon with removing Cesar Chavez’s name following sexual abuse report From streets to murals, the erasure of Cesar Chavez is fast underway in California Inside the Manosphere: Louis Theroux opts for superficial spectacle over serious scrutiny  Myron Gaines releases private call with Louis Theroux after revealing he tried to get footage removed from doc  My Family's Story Is Proof That Documentaries Need Ethical Standards  Beyond "The Staircase": What happens when the documentary ends with subjects "left with the bill"?
