Currently Playing: The Manosphere Isn't About Men. Or Women

Everyone has a take on the manosphere. This isn't one of them. Because the debate you've been watching - the one about men, women, masculinity, feminism, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson - isn't actually about any of those things. It's about something else entirely. Something far more boring and far more profitable. The science on this is extraordinary. And nobody is talking about it.

This channel digs into how systems of power shape our identity, behaviour, and beliefs, and how we can shift the stories we tell ourselves and each other about poverty, inequality, and who’s to blame.
