How evolutionary biology became an unwilling ally of the manosphere
An essay examines how evolutionary biology concepts, such as sexual selection and claims about innate sex differences, have been appropriated by online male-supremacist communities to justify their worldview. The piece argues that researchers did not intend their work to be used this way, and explores how popularised interpretations of evolutionary theory feed into manosphere ideology and gender debates.
Why now: Ongoing public debate over how science is co-opted by online extremist and gender-war discourse.
