As part of the ongoing youth-led audio series Casting the Net, the Webwise Youth Panel addressed the topic of the ‘manosphere’ and its potential impact on young people.

Described as a loosely connected online community focused on discussions surrounding masculinity and gender relations, the ‘manosphere’ has sparked debate and controversy around masculinity, relationships, and gender dynamics.

But how might this affect teenagers and what are the consequences?

To learn more, and to get advice for teens, Webwise Youth Panelist Shriya spoke to Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytical Psychotherapist Dr. Colman Noctor.

All episodes of Casting the Net are available on webwise.ie.
