Communication is crucial in addressing the grievances and fears of young people, as the manosphere preys on those who have nowhere else to turn. Schools and parents should consider initiatives like the good lad initiative, which sends relatable individuals to talk to boys. It is important to give these young men space to question and critically analyze online sources. In terms of undoing radicalization, evidence from other de-radicalization programs shows that dismantling stereotypes and fostering relationships can be effective. Gender segregation in schools is also a problem that needs to be addressed.
