This week on Gaslit Nation, we're joined by the fearless, brilliant Carter Sherman, an award-winning journalist at The Guardian and one of the sharpest voices covering reproductive rights and sexual politics. Her new book, The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future, is a battle cry for Gen Z, a generation navigating the fallout of a stolen Supreme Court, Me Too, incel culture, and a pornified internet. We dive into how young people are rewriting the rules of intimacy in the face of political oppression. Carter's reporting brings us inside the bedrooms and minds of Gen Zers who are coming of age in a country where Roe v. Wade was overturned exactly as we knew it would be. A generation told they're free is now wrestling with the reality that their rights are under siege, and for many, that anxiety has become physical. As one woman told Carter, she couldn't even have sex without being hounded by Kavanaugh's voice in her head. This isn't just a story of fear; it's one of resistance. Carter shares how young people are pushing back, from Kansas voters defending abortion rights to college students canvassing in swing states. But she also warns of the growing threat: the rise of the Manosphere, where boys are radicalized by algorithm and learn to hate women before they can legally drink. What can young women and young men agree on? That the Democratic Party brand is toxic, because it's Republican Lite.  The Second Coming is a deeply reported, fiercely human portrait of a generation caught between tech, trauma, and tyranny. This week's bonus show will look at the horror of Trump's Big Evil Bill passing through Congress, and our discussion of Lillian Faderman's landbook book The Gay Revolution–a resistance blueprint for us today.  Thank you to everyone who supports Gaslit Nation–we could not make this show without you!  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Manosphere: Frauenhass im Netz – Im Internet gibt es eine immer stärker werdende antifeministische Bewegung, die sogenannte „Manosphere“. Dort sehen sich Männer als Opfer des Feminismus und verbreiten frauenfeindliche Inhalte.

The growing presence of manfluencers – social media influencers who present themselves as men's self improvement experts – is shown to have increasingly negative effects on the mental health of young men. Young boys are often exposed to this type of content quickly after joining social media, and this can deeply affect their perceptions of themselves along with their idea of masculinity. Reset sits down with Chuka Nestor Emezue, assistant professor in the Department of Women, Children and Family Nursing at Rush University; Todd Adams, cofounder and executive director of MenLiving; and Jermaine Lawrence Anderson, founder and executive director of I Am A Gentleman, Inc., to talk about the impact the manosphere has on young men, and what to do about it.

Nothing fires up the End Times industry faster than America dropping bombs in the Middle East. After President Trump decided to attack Iran's nuclear facilities this weekend, YouTube was flooded with convoluted and contradictory videos on the biblical implications of the war. But if this really is a prelude to Christ's return, as many online end timers claim, why are they stoking panic and fear? Shouldn't Christians welcome this news? Skye talks to Senator Chris Coons about how his faith informs his politics, why he went to divinity school, and what the Democrats can do to close the “God gap” in politics. Also this week—courts struck down the Louisiana law requiring the 10 Commandments to be posted in every public school classroom, and the real origin of “honky dory.”   Holy Post Plus: Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/132203951/edit   0:00 - Show Starts   3:16 - Theme Song   3:40 - Sponsor - Policy Genius - Secure your family's tomorrow so you have peace of mind today.

The different faces of identity: Navigating sexual orientation and gender expression   Welcome back to Blended!   Today, we're talking about sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.   Discussions around these issues have been hitting the headlines more and more in recent months. And it's fair to say that many recent rulings and debates have felt like a step backward for a lot of different communities – they just want the freedom to be themselves. But there's a fundamental lack of understanding. A lot of people just don't understand what it means to have a different identity or expression. And a lack of understanding, the unfamiliar or unknown, is what often sits behind fear.   So today we're going to be opening up a conversation to encourage understanding, so we can fight that fear and create spaces that are safe and welcoming for everyone.   IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.02] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·       Kai – Social Scientist, President of TransFocus and speaker ·       Ross – Vice President at GLAAD Media Institute, author and speaker  ·       Kiara-Kumail – Employee at White Ribbon and actor     [04.23] The group explore sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and the many factors around these topics, from pronouns and labels, to authenticity and fear.   ·       Sex vs gender ·       Labels ·       Evolution of labels/identities ·       Words/identities mean different things to different people ·       ‘I am' vs ‘I identify as' ·       Asking open-ended questions ·       Creating safe spaces o   What are they? o   How do we create them? o   Language o   Infrastructure o   Support/listening ·       We're more than just our identities ·       Definitions becoming reductive ·       Problems with identity becoming politicized  ·       The growth of LGBTQIA+ ·       Pronouns ·       How we introduce ourselves    ·       The nuance of curiosity and asking questions ·       Respect ·       Fear of making a mistake ·       Being open to being corrected ·       Acknowledging, and apologizing for, mistakes ·       Making assumptions ·       Internal vs external ·       Control ·       Cultural rules ·       How gender expression relates to physical safety ·       Masculinity and femininity ·       Shifting gender expression to suit different environments ·       Belonging ·       Authenticity ·       How anti-trans sentiment also harms cisgender people     “Labels will never fully be able to capture everything, though they help people identify in certain ways. Ultimately, it's not about fully understanding everything, it's about respect and being a good human being. And labels expand and mean different things to different people. The community exists beyond a monolith, we all have different opinions – there's no one easy answer unfortunately.” Kiara-Kumail   “Sexual orientation and gender identity are not just LGBTQ things, they're something we all have. We all have a way in which we know and understand ourselves, and share it out with the world.” Ross   “There's no right or wrong… But the way we can be more expansive is to say: ‘Tell me about yourself.' It's an open-ended question, and then people can feel free to share whatever they want... Sometimes people are hesitant, because they don't know whether it's safe to share.” Kai   “If someone raises an issue, that's a big deal because it takes so much energy. Most people in the research we do, do not raise issues. About 75% have issues, but don't raise them.” Kai   “Introducing yourself is a good way to do it. Because, if you're asking, be honest: Are you asking the only visibly trans person in the room, or are you asking everybody that? Sometimes inclusion can actually be exclusionary. It's good practice not to single one person out.” Kiara-Kumail   “For trans and non-binary folks, people often misread them – we look at the exterior and jump to conclusions… They're misgendered about 70% of the time, it's on a daily basis, and that's a heavy burden to bear.” Kai     [40.44] The panel share an overview of where the US currently is with gender and sexuality issues, why many feel that we've taken a step backwards, and why it's so important to continue to talk about these issues openly and without judgement.   ·       Similarity to the persecution of gay men during the AIDs crisis in the 1980s ·       Modern radicalization of boys and men ·       Manosphere ·       Danger of discriminatory echo chambers ·       Dehumanization ·       Allyship ·       Honest, open dialogue ·       Separating fact from fiction  ·       Combined vision – weaving in women's and men's issues ·       Overlapping needs/intersectionality ·       Shared benefits ·       Trying to turn negatives into positives ·       Speed of change     “We'd previously been making quite a lot of progress, especially on trans issues and rights… Now it feels like a reversal. But I think it's a pause, to allow more people to catch up… I try to understand many different perspectives and I hear time and time again: it's too fast. So, OK – let's regroup, restart the conversation, go back, and go through the basics.” Kai   [49.40] The group discuss what organizations can do to support the LGBTQIA+ community in the current political environment.   ·       Increasing millennial and Gen Z affinity with LGBTQ community ·       Millennial and Gen Z groups are customers and employees – driving expectations ·       Support grounded in values ·       Difference between what organizations say and do (social media vs real policy) ·       Need for larger systemic change, changing norms ·       Appreciation of queer culture, not just people ·       Analysis of biases ·       Providing health insurance that covers gender affirming care ·       Organizations pulling out of Pride/removing certain stock from shelves/pulling DEI programs    ·       More inclusive parental packages, i.e. IVF and adoption ·       Support for name changes ·       Areas for active leaning, e.g. Role play   ·       Intent – the importance of trying ·       The importance of listening ·       Kai's experience of working with two-spirit first nation people ·       Trans folk are not new! o   They exist in every culture, throughout time o   Different names, e.g. ‘third gender' in India o   Trans history has been erased o   Colonialism set certain parameters for gender, expression, marriage, etc. ·       Calling in experts – and paying them! ·       Context ·       Consistency ·       Self-reflection   “In the US, despite everything we've talked about, peoples affinity with the LGBTQ community has only grown – it's tripled since 2012 when Gallop started measuring… And that growth is from Gen Z and Millennials… Which means, for companies and organizations, these are your customers, these are your employees and your future leaders.” Ross “It's going to be a smaller group, but a more effective one. Because those are the ones that want to do the deep work.” Kai “People feel neutral to positive about things like Pride merchandise… the same way they think about a sports team brand. What's the difference between wearing a rainbow t-shirt or a Vikings jersey – to a lot of people, they're the same thing.”  Ross “It's about showing up, it's about listening, and getting to know. Because when you have a depth of knowing, you can start to take more tangible action in a way that's connected with people. It's relational.” Kai   [1.14.18] The panel sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.    RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Kiara-Kumail, Kai and Ross over on LinkedIn.

Why are young men — of all races — moving toward Trump? Are high prices to blame? Their media diets? The Democrats? John Della Volpe, the nation's leading youth pollster, joins Offline to discuss “Speaking to American Men,” a new $20 million effort to bring young men back into the Democratic coalition. John and his colleagues surveyed more than 1,000 men under 30 and conducted dozens of focus groups to understand what these men think about Donald Trump, the Democrats, and the direction of the country. He sits down with Favreau to share the effort's initial findings — some surprising, some not — and to explain why reversing their shift toward MAGA may actually be easier than progressives assume.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Has feminism betrayed the very women it promised to empower? Deborah France-White, Louise Perry, and Erica Komisar go head-to-head on the hidden costs of sexual freedom.  Deborah Frances-White is a bestselling author and host of The Guilty Feminist podcast, Louise Perry is a journalist and author of The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, and Erica Komisar is a clinical social worker, psychoanalyst, and author of books such as, ‘Chicken Little the Sky Isn't Falling: Raising Resilient Adolescents in the New Age of Anxiety'.  In this heated debate, they discuss: What casual sex is really doing to women.  Why relationships are declining.

What if the most radical thing a man can do today… is be gentle?In this passionate and deeply insightful episode, I sit down with Johnny Cole—founder of Hey Brother Co., men's work facilitator, feminist, and marketing tech consultant. We talk about the transformative power of rethinking masculinity, the healing available in brotherhood, and what it means to model emotional leadership as a man.Johnny shares his journey—from growing up in a violent household to discovering feminist thought in college, and how those experiences shaped his commitment to helping boys and men unlearn patriarchy and rehumanize themselves. Together we dive into the generational shifts in men's behavior, the seductive pull of the Manosphere, and how shame-based systems keep us disconnected from our humanity.Most importantly, Johnny shares how Hey Brother Co. is building cycles of healing—through retreats, virtual men's groups, mentorship programs, and powerful work with high school boys. You'll hear how young men are breaking cycles, standing up to toxic norms, and learning to lead with love.This is an urgent, emotional, and hopeful conversation about how we create a future where masculinity includes tenderness, integrity, and belonging.Find Johnny Cole: @heybrotherjohnny and https://www.heybrotherco.com/ BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom chat with director of the ACT Conservation Council and ANU researcher, Simon Copland, about his new book The Male Complaint - “Inspired by leaders such as Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson, the online Manosphere has exploded in recent years. Dedicated to anti-feminism, these communities have orchestrated online campaigns of misogynistic harassment, with some individuals going as far as committing violent terrorist attacks. Although the Manosphere has become a focus point of the media, researchers and governments alike, discussions tend to either over-sensationalize the community or offer simplistic explanations for their existence. This book uses a mixture of historical and economic analysis, alongside actual Manosphere content, to delve deeper. With The Male Complaint, Simon James Copland explains how the Manosphere has developed and why it appeals to so many men. He argues that the Manosphere is not an aberration, but is deeply embedded within mainstream, neoliberal, social structures. For a cohort of alienated men, the promise of community provides a space of understanding, connection and purpose. This insightful book dares to dig into the corners of incel communities and online spaces where misogyny thrives. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand, and do something about, this growing and worrying phenomenon.” ---------- The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.

Thanks to TikTok, there is a lot of oversimplification happening of what being a stay-at-home mum is like as well as, on the more extreme side, what being a 'tradwife' is actually like. Abbie gets stuck into the criticisms from 'choice feminists', the financial risks, and importance of financial independence. Plus, Abbie was asked to react to a video from one of those Manosphere Lite dudes...

Manosphere's Political Influence DiscussedNick Cohen talks to author James Bloodworth about his new book which explores the toxic so-called "Manosphere", focusing on its origins and influence, particularly in the context of political movements like Donald Trump's campaign. James highlighted his book, "Lost Boys," which explores the manosphere's impact and is set to be released on June 5th.Origins of the Manosphere MovementJames explained the origins of the manosphere, which emerged from pickup artist communities in the early 2000s. He described how pickup artists viewed seduction as a science and gender relations as a power game, attracting both men seeking advice on social interactions and those with darker, manipulative intentions. James noted that the movement often targeted neurodivergent men and sold expensive courses based on essentialist gender ideas, leading to a culture focused on conquest and objectification of women.Pickup Culture and Online ExtremismJames discussed his experience with a pickup boot camp, describing it as expensive and objectifying, but noting that some counterintuitive advice, such as being more of a challenge rather than nice, was helpful. He explained how the pickup artist scene evolved into more political and conspiratorial rhetoric, leading to the emergence of the Incel movement and increased misogyny. James also highlighted the role of algorithms in radicalising individuals by funnelling them towards increasingly dark and political content online.Manosphere Radicals and Social InfluenceJames and Nick discussed the radicalisation process within the manosphere and how figures like Jordan Peterson can unintentionally influence their audience towards extreme right-wing views. James explained that content creators often lean into controversial topics to increase their audience and revenue, which can lead to self-radicalisation. They also touched on the phenomenon of "gamer gaze," where young men online suddenly turn against women, and the role of social media algorithms in promoting extreme content. The conversation highlighted the complex interplay between individual circumstances, cultural messages, and the influence of charismatic figures in shaping political and social views.Right-Wing Resurgence in the 2010sJames discussed the rise of right-wing movements in the 2010s, focusing on how liberal feminism and identity politics created resentment among certain groups. They explored how this resentment was harnessed by right-wing influencers and politicians, including Donald Trump and Nigel Farage, who capitalized on "loser culture" and anti-establishment sentiment. James highlighted the shift in media and journalism towards clickbait and contrarian content, which helped spread right-wing ideologies.Read all about it!James Bloodworth, @J_Bloodworth, the author of The Lost Boys, A personal journey through the Manosphere published on June 5th by Atlantic BooksNick Cohen's regular Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond is another must-read.

Did mainstream conservatives and libertarians lose a generation of young men to the reactionary right?

We hear a lot about the pressures boys and young men are under and how many of them are looking to the online world - or manosphere as it's sometimes called - to find answers. Prompted by the drama Adolescence on Netflix, the topic has been in the news regularly in recent weeks. This week the Women and Equalities Select Committee heard evidence on the manosphere. Anita Rani is joined by Will Adolphy, who was a dedicated follower of the manosphere until, in his mid 20s, he had a breakdown. He went offline for five years and rebuilt his life. He is now a psychotherapist, coach, and goes to schools to speak about healthy masculinity.This week ITV has announced a shake up of the scheduling and production of its popular daytime shows including Lorraine, Loose Women and Good Morning Britain. Whilst Good Morning Britain will be extended, both Lorraine and Loose Women will see their number of shows cut. Entertainment journalist and expert on all-things TV Scott Bryan unpicks why this is happening.The Bombing of Pan Am 103 – is a new BBC factual drama series. Based on the true story of the bombing of a passenger flight over a small Scottish town of Lockerbie on 21 December 1988, in which 270 people were killed. Kathryn Turman was Assistant to a federal Senator at the time of the bombing. After the trial she joined the FBI where she founded the agency's first ever Victim Services Division. Her experience in the aftermath of the Pan Am bombing proved invaluable to the FBI's response to the 9/11 attacks, and she has aided victims and families throughout major moments in history including the Las Vegas shooting and the Boston marathon bombing. She discusses her mission to help victims, and what inspired her work in public service.Next month marks three years since the journalist and host of BBC's You, Me and the Big C podcast Deborah James - known to many as Bowel Babe - died, aged 40, five years after her stage four bowel cancer diagnosis. Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer type and cause of cancer death for women. Since the early 1990s, the incidence rate in women aged 25-49 has increased by almost 60%. Bowel cancer is treatable if diagnosed early. Heather James, Deborah's mother, is fulfilling a promise to her daughter and continuing with Deborah's awareness-raising work - she and Michelle Mitchell, Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK, are in the Woman's Hour studio.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Navigating Incel Culture: Therapy Approaches for Manosphere Clients Curt and Katie respond to all the discussions that popped up about the Netflix series Adolescence and its portrayal of a 13-year-old boy accused of murder. We chat about the complexities of working with clients labeled as "incels." We also explore the importance of understanding the impact of that label (especially when clients are not self-identified as “incels”), internet culture - particularly the manosphere, and the challenges therapists can face when working with clients holding these beliefs.  Transcripts and additional information for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we discuss working with clients labeled as "incels" Curt and Katie explore the focus on “incels” in the discussions about the Netflix series Adolescence. We dive into the nuances of understanding internet subcultures and how therapists can effectively work with clients influenced by the manosphere, while also addressing concerns about suicidality, homicidality, and therapy strategies. What is an "Incel" and where does that term fit into the evolution of the manosphere internet community? Challenges in therapy with clients from the manosphere (incels, red pill, men's rights groups) The intersection of autism and the incel community in therapy Safety concerns: Suicidality and homicidality in clients from manosphere communities Strategies for effective therapy with clients from the incel/manosphere communities Key treatment goals when working with clients from the incel community Stay in Touch with Curt, Katie, and the whole Therapy Reimagined #TherapyMovement: Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits: Voice Over by DW McCann https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano https://groomsymusic.com/

From founding the Everyday Sexism Project to unpicking how AI is entrenching misogyny, Laura Bates has become one of the UK's most unflinching feminist voices. In this episode of Full Disclosure, she joins James O'Brien to explore how one devastating week in her early twenties sparked a lifetime of activism- and why storytelling, statistics, and school visits remain central to her mission.Laura traces her path from a bookish childhood to acting ambitions, before recounting the moment a string of seemingly “everyday” experiences of harassment triggered a wider awakening. The conversation spans her battles with media hostility, the evolution of digital misogyny, and the personal toll of online abuse. With clarity and urgency, she discusses how sexism is coded into everything from CV-sorting algorithms to deepfake pornography, and why AI may be the next great battleground for gender equality.Honest, analytical, and deeply human, this conversation delves into what drives Bates to keep going, and what gives her hope for the next generation.Find out more about Laura Bates book,The New Age of Sexism, here

Few people have as much knowledge of the MAGAsphere as Jordan Klepper, co-host and correspondent for The Daily Show. Klepper has been covering President Trump and his supporters since the 2016 presidential campaign, from rallies across the country to the steps of the Capitol building on January 6, 2021. One difference that he — and others — have noted between Trump 1.0 and 2.0 is the growing number of young people, especially young men, who are now in the Republican fold. Kara talks to Klepper about his upcoming special, The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: MAGA: The Next Generation, and what he learned about young conservatives on his tour of college campuses, UFC events, and Spring Break beaches. They discuss "manosphere" influencers such as Charlie Kirk, Andrew Tate, and Joe Rogan, which progressive voices (like Hasan Piker) might break through, and whether Hollywood and comedy are veering to the right.

Can you pay people to have kids? On one hand, countries that have beefed up social safety nets and pay people to procreate often see short-term success. But long-term results have been remarkably consistent worldwide: It's very hard to pay people to have children. My guest, writer Meagan Day, joins me today to discuss the recent birth rate data, the growing appeal of opt-out fantasies proffered by both tradwife influencers and the manosphere alike, and what our leaders would be wise to consider—beyond a one-time baby bonus.

Netflix's Adolescence, a four-part thriller about a 13-year-old murder suspect, has hijacked Britain's political conversation. Annie Kelly explains why the series hit such a nerve: it maps the online pipelines that radicalize boys in their own bedrooms, dramatizes the deadly consequences of misogyny, and spotlights the adults too clueless to confront these threats. Within weeks, MPs demanded it be shown in classrooms, tabloid headlines frightened parents over coded emojis, and right-wing investigators branded the show a taxpayer-funded anti-incel psyop involving Sophie from Peep Show. Come listen as Annie breaks down how virtuosic television managed to inspire breathtakingly cynical discourse about race, youth violence, and fictional portrayals of social issues.
