Escaping the Manosphere: Reclaiming Men’s Mental Health (Part 1)
In this deeply personal and powerfully honest episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, hosts Jordan James and Simon Scott explore the complex landscape of men’s mental health, masculinity, and identity in the digital age. Drawing from their own experiences and conversations with family, friends, and therapists, they tackle issues including:
- The mental health impact of toxic masculinity and outdated gender norms
- How social media algorithms and influencers like The Tate Brothers, Critical Drinker and Piers Morgan radicalise vulnerable young men
- The rise of incel culture, red pill ideology, and manosphere manipulation
- The role of pop culture and media representation in shaping male identity—from Star Wars and Barbie to Fallout and Yellowstone
- The importance of emotional expression, vulnerability, and authentic male role models—especially for neurodivergent men
- Personal stories of grief, fatherhood, depression, and the road to healing
This isn’t just another rant about modern manhood—this is an open, emotional, and insightful discussion aimed at breaking cycles, unmasking pain, and offering a new vision for what it means to be a man today.
