Summary

Incels, pick-up artists, men's rights activists; the internet is literally crawling with angry men and as Laura Bates found out, they are more than happy to indoctrinate youngsters too. The writer and creator of the Everyday Sexism project tells us about her new book, Men Who Hate Women, how online bile is bleeding into the mainstream and why tech companies need to do more to prevent it. It's some sobering, but vital, listening. Tuck in. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
