The ‘Manosphere’ with Dr Zac Seidler - Am I Equal? a miniseries with Laura Henshaw

‘Am I Equal’ is a three-part KICPOD miniseries exploring the push to return to traditional gender roles, the manosphere and the real life impact this is having on us, our relationships and on society.

In the first episode we dive deep into the ‘manosphere’ with Dr Zac Seidler, the Global Director of men’s health at Movember & Associate Professor with Orygen at the University of Melbourne.

Laura asks Zac: what actually is the manopshere? Why has this content become mainstream? How does this content impact men & boys, and how does it change the way they feel about women? What role does compassionate accountability play in all of this?

Episode two of ‘Am I Equal’ will be in your feed tomorrow.
