Summary

Incels are only part of the threat. Ellen speaks with a woman who spent years undercover among a vast network of online communities — among them so-called mens’ rights activists and pickup artists — all united in their desire for total male supremacy. They orchestrate harassment campaigns, glorify violence against women and actively recruit vulnerable young men. Few people are talking about it. And no one knows how to stop it.

It is our understanding and I can confirm that a man known as Jake Davidson aged 22 had murdered a woman at an address in Bidic Drive using a firearm.

1:13.8

I've had this growing sense of an ease for a long time since before I started working on the series.

1:20.8

It's sort of like a low grade buzz.
