"To Jim Steyer, the CEO of the media literacy company Common Sense Media, the alarm bells for boys and young men have been ringing for over a decade with the rise of content creators like Andrew Tate, who have formed what's been described as a manosphere of content online. The examination of the influences has turned into a cultural cornerstone."
"The Netflix-produced series Adolescence examines how a 13-year-old boy influenced by the manosphere acts out violently toward a female classmate. The Democratic Party has launched a $20 million effort to win back young men after about 60% voted to re-elect President Donald Trump this past fall. And California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signaled the need to address boys' falling educational attainment and worsening mental health."
"Common Sense Media recently updated its digital literacy curriculum for approximately 80% of schools across the country, Steyer said. He also told Bay Area News Group that Common Sense Media will release a study on October 8 examining the causes, consequences and potential interventions for the manosphere's influence on boys.

Nationwide concerns about masculinity have led many boys and young men to embrace traditional gender roles and misogynistic online content. Content creators associated with the manosphere, including figures like Andrew Tate, have amplified these trends over the past decade. Cultural responses include media portrayals of manosphere-influenced violence and political efforts to recapture male voters after a majority supported President Trump. Officials and organizations cite falling educational attainment and worsening mental health among boys as urgent problems. Common Sense Media updated its digital literacy curriculum for roughly 80% of schools and plans a study examining causes, consequences, and interventions for manosphere influence.
