In this follow-up to our first tradwives episode, we dive into the toxic world of the manosphere and the concept of “princess treatment.” From Andrew Tate wannabes to algorithm-fed misogyny, we unpack how these online communities are radicalizing young men, feeding the male loneliness epidemic, and warp ideas about relationships. What you’ll hear in this episode:

• What the manosphere is, who’s in it, and how it’s damaging men AND women
  
  
• The role of YouTube algorithms in fueling extremist content
  
  
• Why beauty standards for men are moving backward while women’s are evolving
  
  
• How patriarchy, entitlement, and unrealistic dating expectations feed each other
  
  
• The male loneliness epidemic and why “man up” culture is part of the problem
