Paulo Saragoça da Matta, a commentator for CNN Portugal, analyzed the growth of misogynistic discourses among young people on social media. His analysis focused on the rise of toxic masculinity and the reasons why more and more young people are joining these movements.
According to the analysis presented, images that associate misogyny with a luxurious, sporting and power lifestyle serve as a strong attraction for young people. This type of content particularly appeals to those who do not have access to this kind of lifestyle in their daily lives.
The promise of access to a world of luxury, power and prestige through the adoption of misogynistic discourses constitutes, according to the commentator, a determining factor in the spread of this content among the younger layers of the population on digital platforms.
