Boy Trouble

De: University of Sydney and University of Technology Sydney
  • Resumen

  • Boys are in trouble – or so we are often told. Boy Trouble asks challenging questions about the lives of contemporary boys, and about the popular truisms that frame these lives: Boys are in crisis! Boys will be boys! Certainly some boys might be in trouble, but it's not all the same kind of trouble, and the differences between boys are more interesting than the things they share in common. Linking media analysis to social and educational research, the series explores topics such as online misogyny, men’s rights activisms, the experiences of mixed-race boys and boys of colour, boys’ relationship to sex and consent education, and class and identity in elite boys schools, among others. Along the way, the podcast explores ways to tell better stories about boys, and to find new ways of working through the trouble.

  • The Trouble with the Manosphere
    May 2 2023

    This first episode looks at the phenomenon of the manosphere, a broad label for the online networks that connect pickup artists, men going their own way, involuntary celibates, and men's rights activist, among others. Despite important differences between them, each group promotes the idea that it is men – and not women – who are the real victims of gender discrimination and sexism. This episode features as a guest Finola Laughren, a PhD candidate examining different feminist responses to the manosphere.
