Meadhbh "Maeve" Park is a very two-faced character who spent months lurking among "incel" accounts on x/twitter, always playing faux empath, but LinkedIn painted a different picture; one that sought to further moral panic and draconian laws all for a false sense of heroism.
The author subscribes to the idea that "male surpremacism" exists, an ideology that is rife with bias, cherry picked evidence, and misinformation that fake academics in the social sciences are known for.
Likewise, don't expect a nuanced take from someone who believes that these people are dangerous by default, someone who has built a career, read "grift", doing such. Laura Bates is another prime example of such a grifter and this book is yet another spin on the tired formula.
Overall, don't fall for the hysterics. Meave Park even states on linkedin that during a seminar about incels (lol) most of the audience thought incel was a computer programme, which says it all about how forced and AstroTurfed this "manoshpere" moral panic is.

Terrible book by a questionable author. Falsely claims that Bondi tragedy committed by an unmedicated schizophrenic was "manosphere related" along with a host of ideologically driven nonsense without. The author is known for spreading such false narratives via Twitter and shady NGOs. And has been exposed as a twisted individual who dated a r*pist because they "were good looking and played guitar", which makes this garbage book seem more like damage control than anything else.
The fact that such an individual is granted make-work positions in government and allowed near vulnerable people and schools, should be a wake up call.
If you want a reasonable introduction to this subject, then skip this book. It is no different to the biased, fear mongering drivel found on the the likes of "Vice News" or the bottom of the barrel of "Medium".
