Manosphere messiahs: Mexico

91¸£ÀûÉç Eye investigates the rise of the global manosphere beginning with Mexican influencer El Temach, meeting his fans and some of the women paying the price for the misogyny.

It started in the West with influencers like Andrew Tate. Now the manosphere has gone global, with copycats from Africa to Latin America attracting huge audiences and the cash to match.

In the first episode of a two-part investigation, reporter Jacqui Wakefield explores the booming industry in Mexico, where social media algorithms are fuelling a growing gender divide. She follows one of the biggest influencers in Latin America, the Mexican El Temach, meeting his fans – and one of the people who knows him best. And she speaks to some of the women paying the price for the misogyny of some manosphere content.
