What was presented as an investigation into the subculture of the “Manosphere” felt like something else entirely. In this panel discussion, I’m joined by Janice Fiamengo, Tom Golden, and Jim Nuzzo to react to the new manosphere documentary and discuss what this actually was, what they got right and what they missed. We also touch on a new trend - Alpine Divorce.
