Wednesday Live: The Manosphere Is Fantasy Fuel for Masculinity | Ep. 13

Jeremy is joined by three men who've each built their work around a different answer to the same question: what does masculinity actually look like when it isn't being sold to you by manosphere grifters? John Lovell (Warrior Poets Society) brings a decade of teaching men to be fully warrior and fully poet. Gates Garcia (We The People) brings the view from college campuses and the millennial mirror. Pawel (Be a Man With Me) brings the voice of an immigrant who noticed something was missing from American masculinity— and occasionally carries a machete.

They get into the manosphere and why Pawel calls it “porn for masculinity”; toxic masculinity, toxic femininity, and the generation of Gen Z men caught between them; why men need male friends (and why your wife can't be one of them); the 15-degree phenomenon; Pawel's machete at the gas station; the institutional collapse that makes Gen Z the hardest generation in American history to date in; and the practical advice none of these guys are monetizing: ask a woman on a date, show up early to work, get off social media, and find out what “Till We Have Faces” actually means.
