In the social and digital domain, misogyny continues to manifest in widespread violence and harassment. Globally, approximately one in three women experiences physical or sexual violence during her lifetime (UN Women, 2025a). The most drastic consequence of this misogyny is femicide, which occurs every ten minutes worldwide (UN News, n.d.). In addition, online communities linked to the manosphere, such as “red pill” ideologies, are increasingly making misogynistic ideas more mainstream by using social media algorithms, anonymous participation, and influencer-led content, especially to reach younger audiences (USA Today, 2025a; UN News, 2025).
