In the wake of another powerful man being accused of sexual violence, the usual pattern of warnings from men to other men about the prevalence of false allegations has reared its head. Therefore, in an impromptu discussion, Alieen and Dan discuss how common false allegations of sexual violence against men are, what consequences this narrative of false allegations has for victims of sexual violence, and how much these kinds of allegations ruin men's lives.

The manosphere would have you believe that women can't escape their 'hypergamous nature' - they always seek out men of higher status as partners. But what if it's more complicated than that? Spoiler alert - it is. Aileen takes Dan on a tour of the rhetoric and the research.

Hello! In episode two, we track and discuss the emergence and development of the Manosphere over time, which start with some unlikely roots in early feminist thinking. It would be venturing into spoiler-alert territory if we said too much about it in this blurb, so have a listen instead. Also, please share the episode with those you think will enjoy it, and please rate and leave a comment where possible. Thanks!

Welcome! It's the first episode of Manosphere: Debunked, so we're starting with an attempt to answer a central question: "What even is the manosphere?" Along the way, we ask various other questions, including "Do men going their own way still talk to their mums?" and "Was everything fine for men before pesky old feminism came along??"
