EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Nina Power is a social theorist, philosopher and an author. Between incels and toxic masculinity, manspreading, mansplaining, MeToo, MGTOW, Red Pill and Mens Rights, working out what men want from life is a question that both men and women are struggling with. Nina is trying to work out whether men have a firm place to stand in the modern world any more, and why masculinity is under attack. Expect to learn Nina's post-mortem on men's role in society, how masculinity's crisis hurts women and their future prospects, why Nina disagrees with modern feminism as a long-standing Second Wave Feminist philosopher, how we got to the stage where fear and mistrust of men is widespread, why NoFap ended up being called a hate group, whether the sexual revolution was a good thing and much more...

EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Nina Power and Chris Williamson, The Crisis Of Modern Masculinity - Nina Power explores Nina Power Dissects Modern Masculinity, Feminism, Sex, and Cancel Culture Nina Power discusses her book on masculinity, arguing that modern culture has pathologized maleness while leaving men without clear roles, responsibilities, or socially valued virtues. She critiques liberal feminism, hookup culture, dating apps, and the post‑sexual-revolution landscape for making genuine intimacy, family formation, and mutual respect between the sexes harder. Power and Williamson explore male suicide, incels, MGTOW, the manosphere, and media-driven purity spirals that frame almost any male-focused movement as ‘far right’ or hateful. Throughout, she calls for revaluing courage, loyalty, responsibility, motherhood, fatherhood, and real-world community as antidotes to atomization, resentment, and fear between men and women.
