Navigating The ‘Manosphere’

Reset sits down with Chuka Nestor Emezue, assistant professor in the Department of Women, Children and Family Nursing at Rush University; Todd Adams, cofounder and executive director of MenLiving; and Jermaine Lawrence Anderson, founder and executive director of I Am A Gentleman, Inc., to talk about the impact the manosphere has on young men, and what to do about it. 

In my recent op-ed in the Chicago Tribune, this talk examines how social media, algorithm-driven content, and the rise of the “manosphere” are reshaping how boys understand masculinity, power, and identity. I explore the risks of online radicalization, the emotional costs of performative masculinity, and the urgent need for culturally grounded, healing-centered models of male development.
