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.
