Research: Disengagement from online misogynistic incel communities and its implications for attitudes to gendered violence
This study used a qualitative survey of self-identified former incels to determine motivations for disengagement, strategies to facilitate disengagement, and whether and how their attitudes towards violence against women changed with disengagement.
While motivations varied, the strongest was dissillusionment, often leading to improved attitudes towards women.
Louis Theroux’s recent documentary Inside the Manosphere, and Netflix’s 2025 hit drama Adolescence, has driven a spike in public discussion about the “manosphere”.
❓ A new study asks: how do some men manage to leave?
