After Louis Theroux’s *Inside the Manosphere*, this Glasgow talk faces a hard truth: young men aren’t guided online—they’re sold to.
About this Event

In the wake of Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere, Masculinity & the Manosphere: A Glasgow Conversation starts from a stark truth: too many young men are being shaped by online spaces that don’t guide them - they sell to them.


The manosphere has filled a gap. But instead of mentorship, it offers manipulation - pushing status, control, and quick wins at the expense of the young men it claims to help.


  • Kindness becomes weakness.
  • Respect becomes dominance.
  • Connection becomes conquest.


And the impact doesn’t stop there! Girls and women are reduced to something to win or consume, rather than people with full lives and ambitions. Relationships become transactional. Identity becomes performance.


Masculinity & the Manosphere brings Glasgow together for a direct, honest conversation about what young men are hearing, why it’s sticking, and what it’s doing to all of us.


With expert speakers and lived experience, we’ll explore the impact and what a healthier, more grounded masculinity could look like. Because if we don’t offer something better, someone else will keep selling them something worse.


This is a conversation Glasgow can’t afford to ignore.
