But Why Are Men Falling for This? | The Psychology of the Manosphere, Misogyny & Modern Masculinity

But Why Are Men Falling for This? | The Psychology of the Manosphere, Misogyny & Modern Masculinity

In this special guest episode, Kristin and Laura are joined by Oliver Niehaus to explore why so many men and boys are being pulled into the Manosphere.

From red pill influencers to anti-intellectual rants and fragile masculinity, we unpack:
• Why the manosphere sells grievance disguised as growth
• How patriarchy harms men — and why they struggle to admit it
• The role of loneliness, algorithms, and masculinity myths
• The difference between accountability and shame
• How fear of women’s power fuels cultural backlash

With personal stories, critical insight, and plenty of systemic analysis, this episode dives deep into what happens when culture tells men they’re owed something — and robs them of connection instead.
Spoiler: they’re being sold a lie. And it’s costing everyone.
