Episode Is the Manosphere Teaching Your Son to Hate Women? How Parents Can Respond
Ask Rachel anything
“Is my son secretly being taught to hate women?” If you’ve ever heard your boy casually repeat a line from Andrew Tate… seen him disappear into his room with his phone… or wondered what on earth he’s absorbing on TikTok and YouTube, this episode is for you.
The manosphere is grooming boys to believe women are the enemy—and most parents don’t even realise it’s happening.
In this conversation, I’m joined by teacher and author of Unmasking the Manosphere, Matt Pinkett to unpack how these ideas hook our sons, how they show up at home and in school, and—most importantly—how you can respond without shutting your boy down or pushing him further into that world.
