Cecile Rousseau

Dr. Cecile Rousseau, a Psychiatry professor at McGill University, dives deep into the troubling rise of incel culture and its roots in online misogyny. She discusses the paradox of a regressing tolerance for gender-based violence since the landmark 1989 Polytechnique tragedy. Rousseau highlights how the internet accelerates identity crises among isolated young men and the urgent need for comprehensive strategies involving parents, educators, and policy-makers to prevent violence. She also explores the potential role of AI in shaping safer online environments.
