No longer relegated to an obscure corner of the internet, manfluencers have found ways to expand their audiences and exploit them for profit.
While boys’ adherence to masculine ideals is weakening, many still feel intense pressure to conform to it.

Some experts were concerned about the creation of unrealistic expectations, links with gender-based violence, and the potential for addiction. Others said education might help to offset these harms.
We can teach young people to respond more critically to pornography, helping them assess and respond to pornography’s influence.
Seperempat laki-laki pernah memperkosa atau memaksa perempuan untuk berhubungan seksual.
