Since the release of Louis Theroux’s documentary on the ‘Manosphere’ we have heard a lot of noise about influencers who are promoting potentially dangerous and misogynistic lifestyles and attitudes to young men. But when we know that our sons will see content like this whether we like it or not, how do we talk to them about it?

Ben Hurst is an educator who works with boys and young men to talk about masculinity. He provides workshops in schools to get them talking about sex, relationships, what they’ve seen online, and most importantly how to think critically about it. In this episode he joins Stephanie to talk about how to meet teenagers on their level to offer them alternative narratives to what they’re given online.
