On this Bonus Episode of Modern Manhood, we give you the full interview with Tyler Prochnow who is an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University. He was my main voice in the Group Chat episode and we spoke a bit to his research in the online gaming and chat space. His research interests include the social dynamics which drive health behavior. Tyler has also done work with local Boys & Girls Clubs, health districts, gaming communities, and other research projects to better...

When we think of an all male group chat, does your mind wander to places of toxicity, misogyny and overall bad behavior? or does it go to a place where people find a community, where guys lift each other up, and police their language? Well it can be both. Let’s explore how the group chat is today’s digital third place, and how men and boys have found toxicity or a healthy community in them

Ever since the internet has arrived, sex has been the thing that has powered it’s evolution. From how fast the internet goes, to the regulations that policy makers have to make. however it’s not just sex that’s causing people to turn to the internet, it’s also relationships. and how people use the internet for relationships right now tells us a lot on how gendered it is. This is a story about chat rooms to AI companion bots with a researcher who studied the new AI companion bot. On the...

On today’s Modern Manhood, it’s another bonus episode. This time it’s our full conversation with Alice Cappelle. A French youtuber, writer and internet essayist. Alice if you heard episode 2, came into my worldview through a video titled “Positive Masculinity is Overrated.” A provocative title, but a sentiment I honestly shared, As soon as I knew I wanted to do a season on tech the first person I thought of was Alice, and it was a great coincidence that she wrote a book called Collapse...

In our latest episode of the season titled “Man v/s Machine”, we unravel the fascinating world of online fandoms and how gender influences the way we talk, socialize, and action on the internet For years, fandom has been the heartbeat of the internet. But did you know that the way men and women engage with their fandoms varies significantly? Women have harnessed the power of fandom to create nurturing communities, driving trends like the massive sale of Stanley Mugs. They have been the...

On today’s Modern Manhood, it’s a bonus episode that we’ll do after each regular episode of the season, where we’ll release most of the interview with our guest from the episode. This time it’s with Paris Marx. Paris is a Canadian based writer, podcaster, and leftist opinion maker, who I first heard of from his podcast “Tech Won’t Save Us.” Right now he runs the newsletter “Disconnect.” Paris has always been a person with a critical eye on the world of tech news, understanding that not...

Today we start our journey, trying to unpack how the hell we got here. And one of the most provocative ideas came from Julio Vincent Cambuto in his book "Please Unsubscribe Thanks" that the internet has created relationships as subscriptions. So along with this idea in hand myself and guest Paris Marx (@parismarx) for this first episode get ready to explore the profound impact of technology on our social fabric and the ways we perceive reality. As a possible subscription model. 👨‍💻 Paris...

On this week’s episode, we’re talking about Jonathan Majors again, this time, not for great reasons. On the heels of box office success “Creed III”, Majors was accused of strangulation and intimate partner violence, so we will be talking about it.

“Feminism is going to make it possible for the first time for men to be free.” These are the words that started this season, and they were spoken more than a 100 years ago. And by now I’m sure you’re wondering where it all went wrong. Our last episode we left off talking about the male movements that inspired major calamities such as the January 6 storming of the capital, the Charlottesville Unite The Right march, the killings of Eliott Rodgers and Alex Minassian among other events However...

“Men are angry at losing their kids in the divorce and taking their dream of raising them and reducing it to a child support payments and every-other weekend. Men are angry that they have a higher chance of being audited than they do of finding a successful long term relationship. Men are angry…and our anger is justified. It’s not all directed towards women nor even at feminism, but we are angry nonetheless, and when men are angry things happen” When men become angry, things happen. Well I...

I personally didn’t hear the term The Manosphere until around the time of Gamergate, which we’ll talk about in this episode. And it’s weird because I did want to talk about masculinity and the effects it had on what I thought was my gender roles. However the masculinity discourse was completely taken over by this conversation. This idea to talk about being a man, this was the only avenue you had. It was either trying to have sex, or making fun of women, that’s it. It was a weird time and...

If you take a specific gander into people doing “masculinity work” you will find a lot of a specific type of man and organizations. They are big organizations like EVRYMEN, or Sacred Sons, or Mankind Project They make claims of reclaiming masculine power through rites of passages, usually going to the woods or nature, and hanging out with a bunch of other guys that have spent sometimes hundreds to thousands of dollars to go to these retreats. They claim to take guidance from some spiritual...

The Men’s Rights Movement. When people hear of a bunch of guys talking about gender, if you grew up around the 2010’s, Men’s Right Activists or MRA’s are usually the first thing they think of. The Men’s Right Movements had it’s heyday in the 2010’s but men have been complaining about their rights for a long time now. Now don’t get me wrong, there are a bunch of things that men specifically have been led to believe is just and fair that is just not right. But when I mean that MRA’s complain,...

About 5 years ago or so, I don’t remember the exact date, I was messing around on the internet and I stumbled upon a Vox article talking about a reddit sub group called Men’s Liberation. It was and still is one of the dominant places where you can discuss pro feminist men’s topics on the internet. The more I got involved with the subreddit , I started to learn that the title Men’s Liberation which was already pretty easy to understand, came from somewhere else. In the 1970’s, there was a...

In 2019, Youtuber Natalie Wynn aka Contrapoints, a famous leftist video essayist did a video titled “Men” which is about masculinity and why boys are a little worried at that time. Same kind of sentiment happens today. Natalie ended her essay for a “what can we do” as this: “I think what we need is a new, positive ideal of manhood. Which I don't think is something that women cannot create for men, even if they wanted to. And honestly the best way for that to happen may actually be some kind...

Welcome back to a new season of Modern Manhood. Where we will look at the history of men's movements starting from the 1900's all the way to now in 2022. Episode 1 will drop tomorrow Oct 16th.

Hello everyone! Welcome to a new season of Modern Manhood, where we're going to go through important sections of history and talk about the men's movements that were important during those times. However before we do that, I wanted to share a discussion I did back in April with the awesome people in Reddit's Men's Lib. There's a lot of people who joined and asked questions which not only talks about the history of the men's movement, but of masculinity in it's own modern discourse. It was a...

On Today's Cold Takes we talk about what the hell is going on in the US and now in Canada about the "discourse" around drag shows. Why is everyone upset at them all of sudden? And why is it important to keep vigilant. Plus we also talk about sports and why cheering for any type of sports can seem like a non ethical breach.

Today we are joined by Samantha Nzessi and Remoy Philip to do an an emergency Cold Takes to talk about Jerrod Carmichael's special "Rothanial" where he breaks down his vulnerabilities in a unique and special way. CW: We spoil the special, so make sure you watch it before you listen, but please watch it because it's great.

You know the famous saying about heroes? That you’re not supposed to meet them? Because they invariably let you down. Well I’m sorry this is not one of those stories. CJ Pascoe is one of my academic heroes. She has written or been a part of two of the most influential texts about masculinity I have ever read: “Dude You’re a F*g” and “Exploring Masculinities.” She also has been a part of writing "HOMAGO" which to me is a real influential text understanding how teens use technology. Today...
