Ep 105 - Mapping the Manosphere (pt 1)

Dr. David S. Smith joins me for an in-depth conversation about the manosphere & inceldom. We discuss different subgroups in the manosphere, (Incels [Involuntary Celibates]. MGTOWs [Men Going Their Own Way], MRAs [Men’s Rights Activists]), incel terminology (Red/Blue/Black pill, Trucels, etc) and more. We also discuss how these online subcultures are relevant to what we see in the news today (ICE/IDF) as well as how manosphere talking points have been normalized by IDW ‘intellectuals’.
