Are ‘manfluencers’ raising our sons?

Get inspired by a weekly roundup on living well, made simple. The “manosphere” is a virtual space where I find male supremacists promoting cruelty, misogyny and hate hiding behind a cover of supporting men’s issues. “It looks like it offers you connection,” said Dr. Niobe Way, author of “Rebels With a Cause: Reimagining Boys, Ourselves, and Our Culture,” who has researched what makes young boys and men tick for 40 years. Our boys think these men’s teachings offer them “a chance to be on top,” Way said. “The people on the internet are often the loneliest.” How can parents talk to our sons The conversation about what our sons find in the manosphere begins before the first word is spoken, according to Dr. Grey Endres, associate professor of social work at Missouri Western State University.
