There's a disturbing trend online where hypermasculinity and outright misogyny are being cloaked in religious language to target women. Influencers, sometimes called 'Dawah Bros' or 'Red Pill Arabic' coaches, are gaining audiences by pushing ideologies that legitimize harassment and control.
Women like Mariam, an administrator of a large online group, have faced a deluge of unsolicited messages ranging from 'advice' on how to dress modestly to explicit sexual harassment, severely impacting their mental well-being. These groups adapt Western 'Red Pill' ideas, rebranding them with faith-based rhetoric, not for genuine religious expression, but to exert surveillance and control over women.
It's a global phenomenon using religion as a shield for toxic views. #social_justice #feminism #online_safety
