- In this episode, Fergus is joined by George TheTinMen, pro-men’s advocate, blogger and content creator.
George is on a mission to raise awareness about the issues men face in today’s society. He is incredibly honest and open, sharing valuable information and statistics that many people will be too afraid to discuss. Why? Because he believes that ongoing discussion is what’s needed if we are going to resolve the marginalisation and mistreatment that men and boys face on a regular basis.
Fergus and George cover many topics, including what men are missing in the modern world, the shocking statistics around male mental health and suicide, male body dysmorphia, how social media is creating a false perception of masculinity, and much much more…
Expect to learn more about how men are being let down.
Expect to reflect on your definition of masculinity.
Expect to understand the forgotten gaps in the gender debate.

Loved this episode, really interesting points made
Thanks Jonathon, glad you enjoyed it.
Now that I've gotten more comfortable in my skin as a man I've noticed the hatred in womens eyes when ever they see me enter a room and not acknowledge them it's honestly quite scary because it looks like they're plotting on my death because of how confident I appear when I'm just minding my business 😂
I wouldn’t assume it’s hatred. It’s possible that they are nervous around confident people. If you are projecting that you are in some way superior that can be intimidating for women and men alike.
As a woman I found this to be an interesting episode, having known abusive and badly behaved women in my life and a family member who will not see the other side of the coin. However, he does glide past details that are very important and relevant to the discussion, like the fact that women who perform FGM are doing so because otherwise the girls will not be considered marriage material (by men) and it ruins their entire life. There are other prickly issues and I think it has more to do with the way he words it but I do think the topic is valid and important. As always, thankyou Fergus.
PS- I’m 6ft tall, many men would not date me for this fact. I married a much shorter, very secure man and his height is nothing to me.
Most men sadly, who want to discuss men's issues just want to hate on women and blame women. Men really discussing men's issues for genuine reasons, I'm fine with that. I encourage that, please do!
Yes, I thought that of the incel topic, us women are very scared of the incel and hatred against women that you can see all over the internet, especially with the USA ramping up its anti women political moves. We need to find balance but everything always seems to swing to the extreme.
I think thats just how criticism feels when it is aimed in your direction
@@StefanStuart1 No, it’s just how it feels when there wasn’t as much nuance as is necessary with this very delicate issue. I can see why he creates a bit of backlash in that he leaves out some very important information when it comes to women being perpetrators. Don’t get me wrong, what he’s talking about is veey important but there was some wilful ignorance in places. I would’ve liked Fergus to probe further but it didn’t happen.
I really don't think that is true. A lot of feminists have been keen to reduce all mens activism to Andrew Tate and incels and they amplify the threat because they are useful to them
Also, there are plenty of feminists who openly hate men, 'Why I Hate Men' was headline in Guardian after all.
@@philipgriffiths9859 like anything, if it’s on the internet it can be perceived as hate. Articles have a vested interest in pushing divisive content. I call myself feminist but I can agree that if anyone is too aggressive on either side of the argument it breeds resentment. As a centrist feminist, some of the latest rhetoric online scares the bejeesus out of me. I don’t like extreme feminism but I’m very scared the way men are seeming to turn on women and women’s rights aggressively, we’ve suffered so much violence and suppression through history. I wish the pendulum would settle on the thoughtful centre rather than these extremes, on either side.
nobody likes you just because you
