Masculinisme : a-t-on pris la mesure de la menace ?
Related topic:
Types of radicalisation and emerging threats
Description:
This France Inter debate focuses on the rise of masculinism, presented as a social-media-driven movement that can fuel hostility toward women and weaken democratic and social cohesion. Laurence Rossignol argues it is a broader anti-equality offensive that requires strong public policy, while Pierre Gault says the threat is underestimated and can escalate into real-world violence, including harassment and assaults. The discussion also stresses how algorithms can rapidly push young men toward extremist content, and it contrasts two responses: stronger regulation and institutional action versus dialogue and critical engagement with those exposed to these ideas.
