Episode 81: There Are No Heroes in the Manosphere

Men in the manosphere are self-absorbed and take advantage of those who are weaker than them, whereas men who are heroes are self-sacrificing and protect those who are weaker than themselves.

He is a contributing writer to Psychology Today and the author of two books on sexuality: We're All Like This and Get Busy Living.
