"The Netflix drama Adolescence which tells the story of a 13-year-old boy arrested for killing a female classmate was hailed from the school gates to the Houses of Parliament for shedding a spotlight on the toxic influence of the manosphere. But the national conversation did not end with the final episode of the much-discussed drama. A series of high-profile campaigns, conversations, policy shifts and research have resulted in a sense that 2025 has been the year of the boy."
"The prime minister said it was a really hard watch, while a British police force said it should be a wake-up call for parents. The Netflix drama Adolescence which tells the story of a 13-year-old boy arrested for killing a female classmate was hailed from the school gates to the Houses of Parliament for shedding a spotlight on the toxic influence of the manosphere."
Netflix drama Adolescence portrays a 13-year-old boy radicalised online and sparked national attention on the manosphere's toxic influence. Political leaders, police and researchers connected online manipulation to concerns about boys' education, behaviour and mental health. Gareth Southgate warned about callous, manipulative influencers, and the Centre for Social Justice study Lost Boys argued boys are being left behind from educational attainment to mental health. Campaigns in 2025 included a Dad strike over paternity leave and policy moves such as England's first Men's Health Strategy and a Violence Against Women and Girls focus on preventing misogynistic behaviour in boys. MPs formed a Labour group for men and boys to promote positive role models.
