Hi friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Nina Power. She's a social

0:05.5

theorist, philosopher and an author. Between in-sales and toxic masculinity, man spreading,

0:11.6

man explaining, me too, migtow, red pill and men's rights, working out what men want

0:17.7

from life, is a question that both men and women are struggling with. Nina is trying

0:22.0

to work out whether men have a firm place to stand in the modern world anymore, and why

0:26.5

masculinity is under attack. Expect to learn, Nina's post-mortem on men's role in society,

1:28.7

actually get to hear another side. We actually get to work out that it's possible to have a
