Segment 1 • The SBC is debating more than titles—what happens when women perform pastoral functions without the title? • Why do battles over words like pastor, elder, and overseer matter so much? • Liberalism rarely arrives all at once; it starts with a small crack in the door. Segment 2 • Can a pastor who is secretly living a double life truly finish well? • The SBC tackles immigration, political violence, technology, and religious liberty with surprising clarity. • Is national renewal possible through politics alone, or is something deeper required? Segment 3 • Why do so many people reject Christianity before they ever hear the gospel? • Dr. Jason Lisle argues the battle over Genesis is really a battle over authority. • If evolution removes the Creator, what happens to morality, purpose, and human accountability? Segment 4 • Young men are searching for answers—why is the manosphere filling a role the church could occupy? • Friendship, discipline, work ethic, and masculinity reveal massive discipleship opportunities. • What if teaching a boy how to be a man is actually a deeply theological task? ___ Thanks for listening!

Vorige week werd Maarten Boudry uitgenodigd op de Vlaamse televisie om te praten over de groeiende intolerantie onder jongeren aangaande de LGBTQ-community. De Vlaamse media had al snel een oordeel klaar: de Manosphere!Maar het liep net anders: Boudry viste een (niet voor hem bestemde) notitie uit zijn binnenzak, waarin stond dat de VRT nadrukkelijk had opgedragen om bepaalde data op nationale televisie niet te gebruiken. Zoals Boudry het op zijn substack samenvat: 'Volgens de visie van de VRT past het niet goed bij die opdracht om de nadruk te leggen op onderzoeksbevindingen die bepaalde groepen in de samenleving zouden kunnen stigmatiseren - al leken ze zich opvallend minder zorgen te maken over het stigmatiseren van jonge jongens. In deze aflevering spreken we de media-rel uitgebreid na in alle facetten, en buigen ons over de vraag waarom de VRT bereid is moedwillig de feiten te verdraaien en zich (zelfs na een op heterdaad betrapt) in de zalige mantel van het Eigen Gelijk wil blijven wentelen...Gast: Maarten Boudryhttps://substack.com/@UCjdc2bwXoTmAsH857w-iXxA https://x.com/mboudry?lang=enhttps://www.instagram.com/maarten.boudry/***

In this episode, we ask a strange and sincere question: could art help cure the manosphere?We talk about lonely men, alpha influencers, Andrew Tate, online rage, economic hopelessness, shame, identity, patriarchy, creativity, and why so many young men are being sold power by people who are profit from their pain. We explore the idea that the manosphere gives men a poisonous identity, while creativity could offer them something better: community, vulnerability, agency, emotional range, progress, purpose, and a way to make meaning that does not depend on dominating anyone else.This is not a neat conversation, and it is not an excuse for misogyny. It is an attempt to ask what might happen if more men were invited into art, softness, self-expression, and the power of making art.

Clinical psychologist and men's mental health researcher Zac Seidler on how boys are being fed increasingly inflammatory content online, and what men can do IRL to offer a version of masculinity that is healthy and vulnerable, instead of hard and dangerous.Many young men are taking a journey on the internet right now which starts with inoffensive self-improvement videos on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, but quickly becomes something else entirely.Young guys are searching the internet for fitness, grooming or relationship advice, looking for self-esteem and self-discipline. The algorithm then tries to sustain their attention by offering them more inflammatory and more dangerous content, presented by influencers with cigars and sunglasses, who give them an ideology that blames women for all of their problems.This is the loose digital ecosystem that has been named the 'manosphere', and it's leading people to wonder what exactly is going on with men that they're being drawn into a dark place and ideology that completely alienates them from women and from real life experience.Zac Seidler is a clinical psychologist and the director of research at Movember, the men's mental health charity, and he is particularly interested in men's issues.Zac has conducted some world-first research into this online world, asking the questions 'What need is this content meeting?', and how can men be empowered to pull themselves, their sons and their mates out of this dangerous cycle.Keep up to date with the research Zac is doing via Movember, the leading charity changing the face of men's health.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer was Eliza Kirsch.It explores manhood, masculinity, toxic masculinity, sons, fatherhood, men's mental health, men's suicide rates, depression, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, Myron Gaines, Rollo, Joe Rogan, social media algorithms, Instagram, chronically online, touch grass, grief, death, sex and relationships, isolation, vulnerability, how to talk openly about mental health struggles, men and boys, mothers and sons, Looksmaxxing, Clavicular, becoming a father, marriage, love, husbands, how to be a better man, empathetic accountability, Breadtube, Contrapoints, Hbomberguy, and PhilosophyTube.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts. There you'll find hundreds of the best thought-provoking interviews with authors, writers, artists, politicians, psychologists, musicians, and celebrities.

We've talked about the rise of masculinism in the past on Do You Really Know and today's subject is linked to the kind of traditional narratives that misogynistic men like to support.  You know the type of views I mean: men are supposed to be strong, authoritative and physically imposing. Women, on the other hand, are expected to be gentle, compliant and ideally, not too independent. Since when do people choose their partners based on their exercise regime? How do pilates girls feel about being objectified in such a creepy way? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Leonardo Thibau can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2026/06/brazilian-manosphere/. About the post: This post maps the early formation of Brazilian masculinism through a multimodal critical cartography of “Canal do Búfalo,” a prominent online manosphere forum active in the early 2010s. Drawing on a scraped corpus of 20,189 posts by 2,900 authors, it examines how users geographically self-identified and mobilized toponymic aliases to frame belonging, resentment, and masculinist truth-making online. By combining digital methods, critical cartography, and debates on symbolic interactionism, the study discusses how this forum helped shape a masculinist worldview organized around adversity and opposition to feminism. The maps reveal a strong concentration of activity in Brazil's South and Southeast, while also highlighting regional variations in how users narratively framed their relation to territory. (This episode is available in additional languages on Platypus, The CASTAC Blog.)

BBC investigative reporter Jacqui Wakefield spent a year inside the global manosphere — travelling to Kenya and Mexico to track how Western influencer culture is radicalising young men at scale. She shares what she found in the data when young men handed over their full social media histories, what happened when she confronted influencer Andrew Kibe on camera, and why it's women who ultimately pay the price for content that targets male vulnerability. A necessary conversation for every parent.Episode Summary Jacqui breaks down how the manosphere has gone from niche forums to mainstream culture, how algorithms pipeline boys from gym content to misogyny within weeks, and what parents need to understand about the financial machinery behind these influencers. She also speaks honestly about what a year embedded in these spaces does to you as a woman — and why female reporters in this space see something male reporters don't.Welcome to The Marvyn Harrison Podcast — a story-driven conversation exploring identity, fatherhood, masculinity, relationships, culture, politics, sport, and modern life.In each episode, Marvyn Harrison sits down with leading thinkers, creatives, athletes, policymakers, and cultural voices to unpack the defining moments that shaped them.

Was haben Alexander der Große und Andrew Tate gemeinsam? Sie beide stehen für eine Männlichkeit, die kontrolliert und dominiert. In seinem gut recherchierten und klar strukturierten Comic zeigt Meikel Mathias, wie Männlichkeit vermarktet und performt wird und welche Konsequenzen das für unsere Gesellschaft hat.

There's no shortage of voices telling men who they should be right now and most of them are answering the wrong question. In this conversation with Zachary Wagner, author of Men of Virtue, we get underneath the culture war noise around masculinity and into something more substantive: the four concrete crises facing men and boys today, why virtue formation is better than role definition as a response, and how the fruit of the Spirit offers a more deeply human, and more countercultural, vision of manhood than anything the manosphere or the stoics are selling. This is a conversation about character, embodiment, fatherlessness, meaning, and what it might look like for men to be formed into something more Christ-like.Zachary is an author, ordained minister, and New Testament scholar.He grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago in a homeschooling family as the fourth of six siblings, an environment that sparked his lifelong love of languages, ideas, and reading.After completing degrees from the Moody Bible Institute and Wheaton College.

His second book, Men of Virtue: How the Fruit of the Spirit Forms Male Character in the Modern World, will release from Brazos Press in May 2026. He is currently pursuing publication for his DPhil thesis, as well as a further writing and research projects on Christianity and Stoicism.Zachary was ordained for gospel ministry in 2022 and has over a decade of nonprofit leadership experience.

Lauren Southern was once one of the most influential figures in the online alt-right movement. Her outspoken views on feminism, immigration and free speech earned her a massive following, while her activism and commentary made headlines around the world. After stepping away from politics to embrace a traditional family life, Southern is now reassessing the movements and ideas that helped make her famous. In her new book, This Is Not Real Wife, Southern takes aim at the manosphere, the "trad wife" phenomenon, and the online culture she says shaped a generation of young men and women. Her critics accuse her of abandoning the movement she once championed, while her supporters argue she is exposing uncomfortable truths.

In this follow-up conversation from South by Southwest, Marvin Harrison sits down with the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, to address the influence of the "manosphere" on young men and boys. Mayor Khan discusses the urgent need to hold big tech companies accountable for algorithms that prioritize engagement through negativity and misogyny. He outlines a dual approach to the issue: calling for stricter regulation via the Online Safety Act and Ofcom, while simultaneously investing in offline support systems, including £30 million for youth clubs and targeted initiatives to guide young men toward positive influences.Key Discussion PointsThe "Outrage Economy": An exploration of how social media platforms monetize toxic content and misogyny by incentivizing engagement through outrage. The Case for Regulation: Mayor Khan compares the current state of social media to the tobacco industry, arguing that if platforms do not voluntarily change their algorithms, regulators must intervene to protect children. Empowering Offline Alternatives: Discussion of the "Ignore the Noise, Trust the Voice" campaign and the importance of funding youth work as a necessary "proxy" for support systems. Call to Action: A reflection on collective responsibility, emphasizing that while policy and funding are vital, individual contributions—whether through local youth groups, sports, or mentorship—are essential to shifting the culture.

Alex and Will leave the Podcave behind and move into the Podtower as they begin the next stage of Batman's journey through the DCAU with Justice League and watch, “Secret Origins, Part 1.” Along the way, they discuss Batman's updated design for the series, meet the newest heroes joining the expanding animated universe, and take a look at the talented voice cast bringing them to life. The conversation also dives into the episode's many nods to classic sci-fi horror films and uncovers the influences that helped shape the Justice League's debut adventure.As always, the discussion takes a few unexpected detours, including the discovery that Superman may have accidentally wandered into the Manosphere, Batman uses his Superman alert watch for absolutely everything, and Wayne Manor hosts an apple sauce party.

Gunter Swoboda explores the concept of Kali Yuga from Hindu cosmology as a powerful lens for understanding modern civilizational and psychological conditions.Often described as the “Age of Strife,” Kali Yuga offers a framework for examining societal fragmentation, declining trust, the pursuit of status and wealth, and the growing sense of disconnection many people experience today.

Influencers like Andrew Tate popularised the so-called manosphere — the network of websites, forums and social media influencers that promote "traditional" masculinity. In their thinking, men hold a dominant role in a relationship and women are subservient. BBC World Service Disinformation reporter Jacqui Wakefield recently spent a year following El Temach and Andrew Kibe — two of the most influential manosphere figures in Latin America and Africa — for her BBC Africa Eye documentary Manosphere Messiahs. She explains why their message resonates with so many young men, the consequences that can have on women and how manosphere content is driving men and women apart.

It started in the West with influencers like Andrew Tate. Now the Manosphere has gone global, with copycats from Africa to Latin America attracting huge audiences and the cash to match. In this investigation, reporter Jacqui Wakefield explores the booming industry in Kenya, where social media algorithms are fuelling a growing gender divide. She meets one of the biggest Kenyan influencers, Andrew Kibe, and his devoted fans and asks, are women paying the price?

What are the implications for girls and young women of Alan Milburn's review for the Government into rising levels of inactivity among 16 to 24-year-olds? There are currently just under a million young people in this age range dubbed NEETs because they are not in education, employment or training. Anita Rani speaks to former Labour Home Secretary Baroness Smith, now Minister for Skills, as well as Minister for Women and Equalities. A BBC investigation looks at on the global expansion of the manosphere and the social media algorithms which are driving young men towards increasingly extreme views on gender, relationships and masculinity. BBC Global Disinformation reporter Jacqui Wakefield examines the rise of two of the most influential manosphere figures in Latin American and Africa – El Temach in Mexico and, Andrew Kibe in Kenya. She joins Anita to tell her what it was like spending time with these influencers and about the women living with the real-life consequences of their influence. Would you ever consider working from your bed? Perhaps you do, by choice or otherwise? Dermatologist Dr Alexis Granite and The Archers Podcast's Emma Freud are both fans and join Anita. Jodi Kantor is a Pulitzer-prize winning investigative journalist. In October 2017 she - alongside her colleague Megan Twohey - published a groundbreaking exposé in the New York Times detailing decades of sexual abuse allegations against the former film producer Harvey Weinstein - which galvanised the global MeToo movement. Jodi is back with a new book: How to Start, which is all about how to launch a career in uncertain times. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

It started in the West with influencers like Andrew Tate. Now the manosphere has gone global, with copycats from Africa to Latin America attracting huge audiences and the cash to match. In Episode One of a two-part investigation, reporter Jacqui Wakefield explores the booming industry in Mexico, where social media algorithms are fuelling a growing gender divide. She follows one of the biggest influencers in Latin America, the Mexican El Temach, meeting his fans – and one of the people who knows him best. And she speaks to some of the women paying the price for the misogyny of some manosphere content..

Last month, an article in the New Statesman went viral. “Meet the Angry Young Women”, it was titled. “Across Britain a radical new feminism is rising”. What makes someone radically left-wing according to this article? Disliking billionaires, feeling anxious about social injustice, caring about Gaza, and of course – having pink hair and a nose ring. How very radical! The New Statesman article was then seized upon by The Times and The Telegraph in particular, who bemoaned that we should "Forget the Manosphere" and instead focus on "Angry leftie women" who are apparently "the vanguard of the Left's toxic empathy". 6 in 10 women wouldn't date someone who doesn't have the same view as them on Israel-Palestine, they gripe. Yet the articles fail to mention that the data set also found that 5 in 10 men feel the same. Can angry young women who are exercising their democratic right to vote really be compared to the angry young men of the manosphere, who are perpetuators and some even proven perpetrators of sexual violence? What is the media's real aim behind these lazy comparisons? And is the femosphere even real, or did the media manufacture it? Joining us on Media Storm to actually discuss why women are so bloody angry, is therapist and activist Megan Cooper (who was misrepresented and misquoted in the original article) and founder of Cheer Up Luv, Eliza Hatch.

Jo Frost, also known as Supernanny, has built a career helping parents raise children for over 20 years. These days, however, parenting looks very different from the early 2000s. With social media and the internet connecting teenagers, and things like 'The Manosphere' rising in popularity, it can be difficult to know how best to look after our kids. Jo's no-nonsense thoughts on raising children in the internet age are fascinating.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Heather Mac Donald for a provocative conversation about the feminisation of society, identity politics, and the growing divide between men and women in the modern West. We discuss the collapse of rational discourse, anti-Western ideology in universities, toxic masculinity, feminism, falling birth rates, the manosphere, immigration, free speech, and why younger generations appear increasingly radicalised. Mac Donald argues that modern institutions have replaced merit and truth-seeking with grievance politics and “phony empathy,” while technology, social media, and consumer culture have helped erode family, community, and meaning itself.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Our show is independently supported by you, consider signing up to our substack to get added benefits like ad-free and extended episodes here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:30 Women, Rationality & The Decline Of Truth10:15 Why Modern Feminism Rejected Motherhood11:09 The Masculinisation Of Women12:30 Campus Rape Hysteria & The Obama Era18:07 Why Women Feel “Oppressed”20:42 Why Tech & AI Are Dominated By Men22:35 Immigration, Crime & Female Voting Patterns26:19 Is The West Trying To Destroy Itself?30:13 Young Voters, Universities & Anti-Western Ideology31:04 The Manosphere, Nick Fuentes & Young Men35:16 Rejecting Woke Without Embracing Extremism37:22 Dating, Marriage & Why Young People Aren't Having Sex41:42 Woke Capitalism & Corporate Power45:48 Free Markets, Pornography & Social Media50:37 Gender Dysphoria As Social Contagion54:45 Trump, Censorship & The Collapse Of Neutral Principles58:50 Free Markets, Monopoly Power & Corporate Influence1:05:40 Amazon, Consumerism & The Death Of Main Street1:08:43 Final Thoughts

The phrase “toxic masculinity,” deployed ad nauseum over the past decade, now borders on cliché, but the fact that men are in some kind of crisis feels beyond dispute. Statistics on boys' prospects are bleak, showing falling graduation rates, diminished employment opportunities, and dismal mental-health outcomes. Meanwhile, the manosphere has fanned the flames of these discontents. The question of what's to be done is more pressing than ever. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider a new wave of texts that aims to diagnose men's ills, and to offer a path forward. The men in these works fall, broadly, into two lanes: the damaged, sometimes violent types who are front and center in such series as Richard Gadd's “Half Man,” and the softer, more emotionally attuned protagonists of shows like “Heated Rivalry” and “DTF St. Louis.” But this tidy schematic falls apart in real life—and, as looksmaxxers have taught us, obsessing over models of manhood may only compound the problem. “Usually, if I'm thinking about being a man, it is in a self-reproving or self-indicting way that is not helpful to the situation,” Cunningham says. “When you're asking how to be a man, often the real answer is just how to be a person.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Half Man” (2026)“Magnolia” (1999)“Fight Club” (1999)“Heated Rivalry” (2025—)“‘Heated Rivalry,' ‘Pillion,' and the New Drama of the Closet” (The New Yorker)“Adolescence” (2025)“DTF St. Louis” (2026)“The New Masculinity of ‘DTF St. Louis,' ” by Alexandra Schwartz (The New Yorker)“Lord of the Flies” (2026)“Lord of the Flies,” by William Golding“Can Starting from Scratch Save ‘Vanderpump Rules'?” by Naomi Fry (The New Yorker)Clavicular's appearance on “Impaulsive”“Why So Many Guys Are Obsessed with Testosterone,” by Azeen Ghorayshi (The New York Times)“Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere” (2026)“The Pitt” (2025—)New episodes drop every Thursday.

Watch the video episode here: https://youtu.be/_CKtK4ajc2M----The manosphere has been quoting the Stoics to young men for years. Marcus Aurelius. Epictetus. Seneca. The version they've been selling — anger as strength, dominance as virtue, emotion as weakness — is the exact opposite of what those philosophers actually wrote.In Meditations 11.18, Marcus Aurelius wrote in his private journal that gentleness is more manly than rage. Seneca, in Letter 63, wrote that we may weep but must not wail — and admitted he had been overcome by grief himself. Epictetus, in Discourses 2.10, said that the man who becomes a wild beast has lost something essential. Musonius Rufus argued in Lecture IV that virtue is the same in man and woman, and Cleanthes — Zeno's successor as head of the Stoic school — wrote an entire treatise titled On the Thesis that Virtue Is the Same in Man and Woman in the 3rd century BCE.This video walks through what the original Stoics actually said about being a man, why the manosphere reading of Stoicism is a misreading, and four traits of the Stoic version of manhood you can use to test whether you're actually living the philosophy.

William and Anita are joined by Louis Theroux to discuss his documentaries on the Settler movement in the West Bank, and explore how extremists operate. What are the commonalities between HS TikkyTokky and the mother of the settler movement, Daniella Weiss? How do the extremists in these documentaries use shamelessness to their advantage? And what does Louis think about having invented “The Theroux Method”?

What happens when a culture decides that visibility is power and then punishes women for being visible? Amanda sits down with Sophie Gilbert, staff writer at The Atlantic, and author of Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves, for a conversation that gets personal fast. They trace the arc from riot grrrl to the Spice Girls to Britney's breakdown to the Manosphere and make the case that what looks like progress for women has, again and again, been repackaged exploitation. They talk about why objectification got rebranded as empowerment, why reality television taught women that other women are the enemy, and why men are now being sold the same trap women were handed in the early 2000s.
