This episode (part 1 of 2) I have Manosphere expert Kevin Logan @KFLogan and former MRA/MGTOW David Sherratt @4lternate_facts joining me to shed some light on what the ‘Manosphere' is & how it intersects with the alt right and racism. We discuss various extremist elements within & how they branch out to have a ‘more respectable face', and we also break down the terminology in relation to the recent Toronto attack.Quick reference for anyone who isn’t so familiar with that scene: MRA = Men’s Rights ActivistMGTOW = Men Going Their Own WayPUA = Pick up ArtistryPlease forgive the audio being crackly in the first 3 mins after the episode begins. That was quickly resolved and the audio is fine after that.
