🔥 New Episode: When Men Are Framed as Threats: The Overlooked Side of Sexism

Sexism is often discussed as a women’s issue—and it is. But there’s another side that rarely makes the headlines: men in the workplace penalized simply because they’re perceived as threats.

In this new episode of The Arrogant Independent, host Shawn Havens unpacks:

• The psychology behind “threat appraisals” (Stereotype Content Model, Precarious Manhood Theory, Masculinity-Contest Culture, Ambivalence Toward Men).
• How career penalties ripple into men’s health, fatherhood, and family dynamics.
• Why this matters for our sons, our schools, and the future of trust in society.

This isn’t about downplaying sexism against women. It’s about showing the full picture—because when men are framed as threats, everybody loses.
