Most young Aussie men are turning to masculinity influencers, and it's impacting their mental health

'Online "masculinity" content is mainstream and wide-ranging — far broader than the toxic Andrew Tate style manosphere or incel culture touched on in the hit Netflix series Adolescence.

It includes fitness and wellbeing, relationship and career advice, personal discipline and self-improvement.

A new report out today shows more than two thirds (68 per cent) of young Australian men engage with masculinity influencers and it's shaping their identity.

The Movember Institute of Men's Health surveyed more than 3,000 men aged 16 to 25 across Australia, the UK and the US to find out what impact such content was having on their lives.

"We came in with a health lens. That is the key here. No one has done that," said Dr Zac Seidler, global director of men's health research at Movember.

He said getting rid of content on social media because it was "dangerous" was unhelpful, as there was no causal evidence to suggest that was the answer.'
