Psychologist Maria João Faustino participated in the CNN 360 program to analyze the growth of misogynistic discourse among young people on social media. During her intervention, the expert addressed the rise of so-called "toxic masculinity" and its impact on current society.
Maria João Faustino classified the "manosphere" as simultaneously a social and technological problem. This designation refers to the set of online communities where misogynistic content and extremist ideologies targeting male audiences proliferate.
The phenomenon has been growing significantly, especially among young people who use social media as their primary source of information and socialization. The psychologist warned about the dangers of this trend in shaping the opinions and behavior of the younger generation.
