Radicalization and TSwift

MASKulinity Podcast

Some friends to the north join us this week! Next Gen Men Program Manager Jonathon Reed and Higher Unlearning Founder Jeff Perera shed some light on the radicalization of men and boys.

• Remoy’s still living under a rock, and it’s not a drill. Samantha gets him up to speed on why some conservative men feel betrayed by Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship. Is she empowering women too much with these break-up songs?
• We get to talking about Critical Race Theory, your new-edition Fahrenheit 451. Where does the term actually come from? And what does it have to do men and boys trying to get a grip on healthy masculinity?
• Finally, how is it that boys and men of color are being radicalized into far-right extremism? Our guests have done a decade's plus work around maskulinity and provide what knowldege they've surfaced. We talk empathy, what is missing that extremist groups are the recourse for boys, and what we can do.
