A former school principal is calling on Australian educational institutions to take a stronger stand against the so-called "manosphere" — the online world of male-focused content that critics say promotes harmful attitudes toward women and masculinity.

Educator Adam Voigt says more schools need to step up and actively counter the influence of manosphere content on young male students, arguing that too many institutions are falling short in addressing the issue.

Voigt's comments highlight growing concern among educators about the reach of online figures and communities that promote misogynistic or extremist views of masculinity, and the impact this content is having inside classrooms and school communities across the country.
