Publisher's Summary
Includes an exclusive interview between the author and Ben Hurst, head of facilitation and training at The Good Lad Initiative and presenter of the TedxLondonWomen talk 'Boys won’t be boys. Boys will be what we teach them to be'.
An explosive book examining the rise of secretive, extremist communities who despise women. In this ground-breaking investigation, Laura traces the roots of misogyny across a complex spiders web of groups extending from men's rights activists and pick-up artists to Men Going Their Own Way, trolls and the Incel movement, in the name of which some men have committed terrorist acts.
Drawing parallels with other extremist movements around the world, Bates seeks to understand what attracts men to the movement, how it grooms and radicalises boys, how it operates and what can be done to stop it.
Most urgently of all, she traces the pathways this extreme ideology has taken from the darkest corners of the internet to emerge covertly in our mainstream media, our playgrounds and our parliament.
Going undercover on and offline, Laura provides the first, comprehensive look at this hitherto under-the-radar phenomenon, including fascinating interviews with former members of these communities, the academics studying this movement and the men fighting back.

Unmasking a hidden world
This book is almost unbelievable. Except it’s all absolutely true. This world of men who hate women actually exists and so so few people are aware of its size and reach. An incredibly important work by Laura Bates, a brilliant author and wonderful narrator. I enjoyed and was horrified by this book in equal measure, and have recommended it to so many people already. Also really enjoyed the interview by Good Lad with Laura at the end so make sure you stick around for that.

Insightful, well researched and important read
As a teacher and a parent of a boy and a girl, I feel very grateful for the insight into this world I knew nothing about. I'll be thinking about the many issues raised in this book for a long time to come. One issue that really stood out was how pervasively radical misogyny has gained influence in the real world in myriad, often subtle ways, which Laura Bates has researched and unpacked brilliantly. Not easy listening, but fascinating, an important read for anyone at all interested in social justice issues.

A must read for anyone who has day to responsibilities with young men
This is a courageous and thorough account of the underbelly of misogyny and its infiltration into mainstream. Absolutely eye opening and has heightened my awareness as a youth counsellor. Whilst I am aware of how toxic masculinity and misogyny affects young men I was totally unaware of how it’s being peddled online to radicalise young men.

Heavy Stuff
The author covers some very heavy topics that society does not want to look at.

Terrifying and Important
Take it slowly, as this is not an easy read. But read it, you must. Talk to people about it. As many as you can. Young people, particularly.

Laura Bates brave but necessary deep dive into the manisphere.
An extraordinary book detailing the reality and ideologies of groups of men that hate women. This book is well researched and disturbingly honest, that provides optimism and tangible solutions to create individual and societal improvements for the safety of women and other targeted groups.
Sincere thanks for all the work you have done with this book.

Mind opening
What a journey to take of a world I knew so little of. The book challenged old thought patterns and made me aware of just how far I have to go as an ally

The same men have harrassed me for 7 yrs
Thank you Laura for doing what I couldn't do , You've exposed these terrorist mens groups that have harrassed me since 2014. I cant thank you enough. Now we need the Government of each country to do something about these groups . And for everyone to know that the members of these groups are involved in all levels . Police . Gov , legislators , teachers , university lectures , phychiatrists , psychologists , defense forces .These men who terrorise rape and murder women and recruit others to do the same , need JAIL time under terrorism legislation.
