How to talk to men and boys about the Manosphere by Ben Hurst 💬⁠
⁠
The manosphere has gone mainstream and its misogynistic teachings are now commonplace on and offline. Masculinity educator, Ben Hurst, has spent over a decade speaking to boys and young men about what it means to be a man and believes that conversations are key to combatting the manosphere’s harmful lessons. Using conversation models like ALEC (Asking, Listening, Encouraging and Checking in), Ben shows it’s possible to meet boys and young men where they’re at and help them rediscover what healthy masculinity looks like.⁠

Episode 6 of #OffMyChest with @four8stories is a big one! We’re talking about the F bomb! This is definitely the the most contentious conversation that men are having in 2024 but super important and very timely 🎯

I sat down with my guys to explore feminismand to think about what gender transformative intersectional feminism looks like in practice! (I didn’t use those words though lol)

Really proud to say I get to work with and for @beyondequality and have these conversations on a daily basis! And I’d love to invite all of you to join us in having these conversations more often!✨

You can catch the full episode now on the ‘Four8TV YouTube channel’ 🎬🎞️🍿 let me know what you think of it 💖✨

“The reality is that boys won’t just be boys. Boys will be what we teach them to be”.

Throwback to @therealbenhurst’s #TEDxLondonWomen talk on toxic and positive masculinities. As relevant and powerful as it was FIVE years ago, Ben explains why boys and men need to have the tough conversations to unpack societal expectations on what it means to be a man.

Progress on paper. Pressure in real life. Boys intellectually accept emotions—but socially still hide them. #mentalhealth #masculinity #youngmen

If porn becomes sex education, we have a problem. Many boys are learning performance before connection. That has consequences. #relationships #culture #healthymasculinity #podcast #reel

Housing feels impossible. Dating feels confusing. Identity feels unclear. That’s why extreme voices grow. #masculinity #mentalhealth #youngmen #culture
