We are living through a moment of profound disenchantment between the sexes, with blame and contempt running in both directions. For years, the cultural spotlight has fixated on the ‘manosphere’ – a world recently examined in Louis Theroux’s latest documentary, centred on red-pilled men, misogyny and figures of influence within the movement. Yet a recent cover story in the New Statesman adds an important layer of nuance to that narrative: while 72 per cent of British men report a positive view of women, fewer than half of women say the same of men, with one in five holding an actively negative view.
