Show Notes
Following the recent Louis Theroux documentary on the manosphere, I sat down again with George from The Tin Men to talk about why so many boys and young men are being pulled towards harmful messages online, and what often gets missed underneath that conversation.
We talk about fatherlessness, the lack of positive male role models, how boys are spoken about in schools and society, men’s mental health, domestic abuse against men, and why gender issues are so often framed like a zero-sum game.
This is a conversation about what boys are growing up around, what men are carrying, and what it would actually look like to take their struggles seriously without turning that into a criticism of women.
Takeaways:
→ Why the manosphere appeals to boys and young men
→ The role fatherlessness and missing male role models may be playing
→ Why men’s mental health and domestic abuse against men are still overlooked
→ How schools, media, and culture shape the way boys see themselves
→ Why gender issues are so often framed like a zero-sum game
