That’s what Solnit has done with “(Mis)Adventures in the Manosphere,” where she explores how the right has turned hatred of women into an ever-expanding, multi-platform Internet grift. In just a few days, it’s garnered an enthusiastic audience online, and we believe it will become an essential statement on how, as she explains, “The Internet has increasingly become a predatory monster that exploits its own: the people it was made for.” “Today,” she warns, “a vast array of online platforms—misogynistic porn, crypto, sportsbetting and prediction markets, masculinity influencers, and right-wing and racist propaganda—gnaws through minds, hearts, and souls on its way to wallets.” We hope you enjoy reading Solnit’s piece along with the other features, editorials, and books and arts pieces in the issue.
