Concerns have been raised about the increasing misogyny among boys, with some teachers noting alarming attitudes and phrases expressed in classrooms. Parents and teachers have noted instances of disrespectful comments made by young boys, and the influence of social media algorithms on their beliefs. Studies indicate that boys aged 17 or younger can be quickly exposed to misogynistic content after creating social media accounts. The internet's echo chamber effect exacerbates this issue, leading to algorithmic radicalization and making it difficult for young boys to encounter diverse perspectives.
"It's because the algorithms are designed to feed young boys alt-right/misogyny content. There have been many studies showing how the algorithm changes depending on age and gender, and how hard it is to deviate away from the alt-right info once you get it."
"This is what I was going to say. I saw a post the other day from a doctor and team who have been studying the growing misogyny in young boys. They said they found that if a kid, 17 or younger, made a TikTok account, within the first 17 seconds they would be pushed alt-right/misogyny content."
