This is Part 2 of our in-depth series on men’s mental health, masculinity, and the dangerous rise of red pill/manosphere culture. If you haven’t yet, go back and listen to Part 1 — this second half picks up where we left off.

In this powerful continuation, Jordan and Simon get honest about the structural failures behind the male mental health crisis — from lack of support in schools to the societal pressure that discourages men from protecting their emotional well-being.

🎯 Topics covered in Part 2:

• Why schools, parenting, and social structures are failing young men
• How algorithms and toxic influencers are exploiting vulnerable male audiences
• The need for positive male role models, especially in education
• The case for starting boys in school a year later to support emotional development
• Reflections on fatherhood, regret, and emotional protection for men
• How to build real solutions: from therapy and communication to hobbies and human connection

This is a raw, emotional, and solution-focused conversation that dives into how we can help men heal in a world that often sees their pain as weakness.

📌 Whether you're a parent, partner, teacher, or just someone who cares about the future of men’s mental health — this episode is a must-listen.
