Watching Into the Manosphere, it’s easy to see it as collection of individuals sharing hateful views. But that framing is exactly what the people interviewed want. When we see them as isolated trolls, we miss the bigger picture. The influencers targeting women’s autonomy are not alone. There is coordinated movement investing in rolling back women’s rights. Amnesty research uncovered 65+ UK anti-rights groups, 32 of which spent £106 million between 2019-2023. This is a well-funded attack. The Alliance Defending Freedom used the US courts to dismantle Roe v. Wade. Emboldened by their wins in the US, they are now importing those strategies to roll back freedoms in the UK. The Alliance Defending Freedom increased its spending in the UK by 187% between 2019 and 2023, for a total of £3.9 million. They have their sight on women’s rights. The profit-seeking manosphere gets rich from young men’s disenfranchisement. They blame women and feminism for the issues young men face. Meanwhile, the anti-rights movement invests millions of pounds to make changes through policy. Their goal is to rewrite who deserves dignity and freedom. Watching Louis Theroux's Into the Manosphere, it’s easy to see it as collection of individuals sharing hateful views. This is not just hate. It is an industry. But we know even the most organised money can’t win against organised people. The fightback is now.

BREAKING: Enoch Burke’s mother and sister arrested and jailed Martina and Ammi Burke were arrested by Gardaí today at Castlerea Prison after visiting jailed schoolteacher Enoch Burke, their son and brother. Judge Brian Cregan sentenced them to two weeks in prison after they spoke out against his lies and unlawful actions in the case of Enoch Burke. Martina and Ammi Burke had been teaching in Castlebar this morning before travelling to Castlerea for their scheduled visit at 2.15pm. As they left the prison after concluding the visit, Gardaí were waiting outside to arrest them. Lies have been told from the bench since September 2022 when Enoch Burke was first taken from his teaching post at Wilson’s Hospital School and thrown into a jail cell. He refused to call a student by a new name and the “they” pronoun. He was subsequently suspended and has now spent over 600 days in prison. Ireland’s church leaders have maintained a treacherous silence on this issue. Archbishops Eamon Martin and John McDowell speak frequently about battlefields far away - Gaza, Ukraine, the Middle East - but are silent on the battlefields in the schools of Ireland, on their own doorstep. Children in the classroom are being educated in every form of sexual perversion. Martina and Ammi Burke have now been sent to Mountjoy Women’s Prison because they refused to be silent in the face of gross injustice from the bench. Parents, rise up and speak out for your sons and your daughters.

Do they seem innocent to you?
