A lot of money, a sculpted body, and an attractive, submissive woman by your side. This is the ideal image of masculinity promoted in the manosphere. What makes the manosphere so appealing?

What are the consequences of growing numbers of (young) people encountering increasingly conservative ideas online about masculinity and the role of women? What worldview underpins these ideas, and where does it come from? Join theologian Mariecke van den Berg, communications scholar Anne Sadza, and political scientist Nik Linders to explore traditional gender roles, the influence of social media, and the search for group identity.
