In this episode, James Nuzzo returns to dissect the bizarre new concept of “mankeeping.” A term born in academia and quickly adopted on social media to frame men’s emotional needs as a burden on women.
We break down how feminist-leaning research often begins with a predetermined conclusion, how male-only spaces are pathologized, and why the narrative ignores what men actually bring to relationships. From TikTok hot takes to peer-reviewed “special issues,” we explore how resentment cloaked as scholarship shapes the public’s perception of men.

In this candid follow-up, we examine the evidence, challenge the assumptions, and discuss what the data actually says about equity in medical research. Click the link below to watch!
