#21 | The “Manosphere” is Expanding - Here’s a Story that Will Help Educators Lessen Its Influence

from unMASKing with Male Educators: Creating Emotionally Safe Classrooms & Schools for Male Students · host Ashanti Branch - Taking Off The Mask

What do Andrew Tate’s return, Netflix’s “Adolescence”, the film “Manodrome”, and the Department of Education shutdown all have in common? I break it down here - why it’s harder than ever to combat bullying in our school communities - and I provide a fundamental approach that I take. Hopefully all educators can apply this at their school site once they listen to this.This episode was inspired by my conversation with Trevor Slater.
