Manosphere, RedPill and your experiences with (Research)
Hello everyone!
My name is Tina and I’m a student at the University of Padua (Italy). I'm 24 years old, and I’m finishing my master's in social psychology.
With the help of my supervisor, I'm conducting a research on the experience of men who interacted with the Manosphere and have then decided to part ways with it.
I’ve asked permission to post on this subreddit as I think a lot of you might have experiences, tips, or just stories to share, which would be immensely valuable for many other young men who are interacting with these communities for the first time.
I am looking primarily for italian speakers who would be comfortable with having a chat with me about it, and would be willing to tell the story of how they came in contact with groups such as RedPill, Incels, MRA, MGTOW etc, and then why eventually decided to leave.
This research is in no way aimed at changing people’s minds, nor judging anyone for their beliefs; the only scope is gathering accounts of lived experiences through people’s own voices, in a safe space.
If you’re interested, know that safeguarding your privacy is of absolute priority to us, and you’ll be able to withdraw from the study at any moment; your name will not be featured in any part of the study, and the research program has been reviewed and passed through an Ethics Committee.
Should you have any concerns, I'll be available to reply and clarify anything you might have questions about.
