The Rage of Man (Part 3 of 3): Self-Destruction: How Male Rage Harms Men

"From suicides and mass incarceration to emotional isolation and early death—this episode is about the self-destruction at the heart of toxic masculinity. It’s about the boys who were never allowed to cry, who grew up into men who don’t know how to speak… until it’s too late. And it's about the world that tells them suffering in silence is strength, while it quietly digs their graves. This isn’t just about rage.  It’s about the cost of pretending you’re not human.  And the revolution that begins… when men stop pretending."

The Rage of Man (Part 2 of 3): The Fallout

"This is Part 2 of our series on the Rage of Man: The Lie of Strength and the Price We All Pay. Last episode, we tore the mask off male rage—showing how society grooms men to suppress everything except anger. How the myth of the invulnerable man creates a pressure cooker of shame, loneliness, and violence. How patriarchal conditioning turns vulnerability into a threat, and emotional suppression into a weapon. But tonight… we’re going deeper. Because male rage doesn’t just harm women. It doesn’t just wound families. It doesn’t just destabilise entire communities. It’s killing men too." Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2448077/open_sms]

The Rage of Man (Part 1 of 3): Toxic Masculinity and Male Rage

"Toxic Masculinity and Male Rage"  "What if I told you that the angriest man in the room might actually be the most hurt? What if I told you that the rage we see in men – the shouting, the slammed doors, the silent fuming – often hides years of pain and fear, locked behind a wall of forced stoicism? We live in a world that teaches boys to bury their feelings. “Big boys don’t cry,” we say. Vulnerability is treated as weakness, until all that’s left for many men is anger – the one emotion society hasn’t forbidden them."

INTRO into The Project: The Truth About Being ‘Too Emotional’

Have you ever been told you’re too emotional? That your feelings are too intense, too disruptive, too much? In this powerful debut episode of The Not Viable Project, host Shannon explores the real meaning behind the phrase that has been used to silence women for generations. Drawing from personal experience, feminist theory, psychology, and raw statistics, reveals how the label “too emotional” is less about feelings—and more about control. From workplace gaslighting and emotional suppression to the epidemic of gender-based violence, this episode examines how society weaponises emotional language to shame women, dismiss truth, and uphold power. If you’ve ever cried in the bathroom, been called dramatic, or told to calm down when all you were doing was surviving—this episode will speak directly to your fire.

"When Mourning Becomes a Crime"

"What if I told you that your uterus is now a crime scene? That the blood between your thighs could trigger a police investigation? That in the eyes of the state, your miscarriage isn’t a tragedy—it’s a homicide? What if I told you… that grieving the loss of your baby could land you in a prison cell longer than the person who killed my baby boy? This is not a horror story. It’s not fiction.  It’s policy. It’s precedent. It’s punishment wrapped in the language of “protection.” And it’s spreading.  From El Salvador to Texas. From Victorian asylums to your period tracking app. We were told we were too emotional. So they locked us in institutions. We were told we were too sexual. So they outlawed our pleasure, our contraception, our choice. And now? Now they’re coming for our grief. If you’ve ever lost a pregnancy like I did, this episode may break you down.  But I promise you—it will make you fierce. Because mourning is not a crime.  But criminalising women absolutely is. Welcome to We Are The Reckoning. And today—we’re burning the whole damn script." Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2448077/open_sms]
