Evening Talk: Manosphere and Caring Masculinities

This fireside chat focuses on the tension between the manosphere and alternative concepts of masculinity such as Caring Masculinities. The manosphere comprises loosely connected online communities that often engage with topics like men's rights or anti-feminism and frequently promote traditional gender roles. In contrast, approaches like Caring Masculinities emphasize empathy, care, and egalitarian relationships.

The discussion will analyze these opposing perspectives and explore their societal impacts. While the manosphere is often associated with polarizing or toxic narratives, Caring Masculinities offers an alternative based on cooperation and emotional responsibility. An open exchange on these themes invites critical reflection on current debates surrounding gender roles.
