Objectives and competences

In recent years, content creators with anti-feminist and reactionary discourses have gained visibility, especially within the male sphere: an interconnected set of online spaces that spread anti-feminist and anti-LGBTIQ+ narratives. Although young people do not form a homogeneous group, these discourses have a growing impact on the identity construction of some young men, trivializing sexist violence and furling hostility towards feminism. This course offers tools to understand the discourses of the male sphere and counteract them through education, the community sphere and communication.
