Inside the Manosphere: We Laugh, We Recoil, and We Recover with a Palate Cleanse of Good Men.
from Only Gets Better · host Heather and Selin
Episode 5: This week we dive into the Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere and explore the bizarre, bleak, and unintentionally comedic world of manosphere influencers - the self‑proclaimed “alphas” shouting into ring lights, and the grifters selling confidence in 12 easy payments. We give the topic the seriousness it deserves while still keeping our sense of humour intact, because if you can’t laugh at a man roasting in a tight suit, performing dominance theatre beside a leased sports car, then really… why are we here. We break down how this ecosystem works — all while laughing just enough to keep from screaming into the void.Then we cleanse our palates with men who actually deserve attention, including everyone's favourite, Robert Irwin. We discuss our plan to clone him (ethically… probably) and share some recent encounters with genuinely good young men that left us feeling surprisingly hopeful about the future.If you’re curious about toxic masculinity, influencer culture, or just want to hear us roast the manosphere while finding reasons to believe humanity isn’t doomed, this episode is for you.Selin's recommendations: Jordan Stephens podcast: WHOLE TRUTH with Jordan Stephens | Podcast on SpotifyWill Hitchins: www.instagram.com/willhitchinsHeather's recommendation: Watch The Last Kingdom | Netflix Official Site Links Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onlygetsbetterpodcast Selin’s Insta: https://www.instagram.com/littlefacelens Heather’s Insta: https://www.instagram.com/progression_lab Heather’s Substack: https://substack.com/@heatherpatersonwrites
