The real life impact of the manosphere on young men

Daniel Principe is a youth advocate and educator who delivers workshops to students, parents and educators around relationships, sexuality & masculinity.

In this episode, Laura sits down with Daniel to find out what he’s seeing in schools right now - how masculinity influencers and misogynistic content are shaping boys and their beliefs about themselves and women, the values they are actually seeking in their relationships vs what the internet tells them they should look for, the shaming and dehumanising behaviour he sees online and in schools, and the positive signs from some young boys who are doing things differently.

We talk about an episode of Compass that Daniel featured in. It was called ‘Highjacking Adolescence’ and you can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luNyPU5hXtc
