The "Manosphere": Algorithmic Rabbit Holes For Young Men

1 hour 49 minutes

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa and Sovereign pull back the curtain on the “Manosphere”, the digital rabbit hole pulling young men into misogyny through algorithm driven feeds. From TikTok trends to YouTube pipelines, they explore how social media is shaping worldviews and fueling a growing crisis in how boys and men see women, relationships, and themselves.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss viral clips about women in male dominated fields, Offset blaming his failed marriage on Cardi B not cooking, and Kevin Hart’s ill fated race against an ex NFL player that landed him in a wheelchair. In the Mailbag, they respond to a therapist telling her client that patriarchy “doesn’t exist anymore.”

🎧 This episode unpacks the algorithmic mechanics of radicalization, the rise of online misogyny, and what it means for the next generation.

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

How social media algorithms funnel boys toward misogynistic content

The manosphere’s impact on relationships and gender expectations

The role of resilience and socialization in women’s survival strategies

Radicalization of young men online versus women’s experiences of propaganda

Why feminism is still seen as a threat, and how to respond to denial of patriarchy

The importance of women maintaining financial and personal agency
