In this talk, Neil Shyminsky will trace the origin of the Manosphere and describe some of its major movements, motivations, and players. He'll also describe the work of the de-manfluencers (himself included!) hitting back at them and the strategies - many of
them taken from academia, some of them contested and controversial - that we employ.</div>
