    Leading Incel researcher reviews Netflix's 'Adolescence', William Costello meets TheTinMen

    Once again, the much misunderstood ‘incel’ phenomenon is back in the crucible of public discussion, following the release of the Netflix smash hit ‘Adolescence’. Public and politician alike have waded into the debate; heaping sympathy, outrage, fear, or distain at the feet of these lonely, deeply unwell, and sometimes violent young men. But behind the glossy production, fantastical screenwriting, and career defining performances, what is the truth about incels?Who are they? What do they want? Are they a terrorist threat? And how do we help them? Well, leading researcher into incels, William Costello, who remains the only researcher to work directly with this enigmatic group, is here to review the series, and separate the fact from the fiction…What do you think?~Chapters00:26: Who are incels? 03:23: Should Adolescence be shown in Westminster?06:50: Adolescence as a piece of art08:15: Adolescence as a piece of science12:14: Jamie and the clinical psychologist 16:13: Jamies, incels, and bullying21:32: Incels and suicidality22:20: The harm of using "incel" as an insult 25:07: Is incel a terrorist threat?30:58: What does a real life incel look like?33:39: Incels and autism36:41: Should we be more compassionate towarad incels?37:44: Why do boys like Andrew Tate, and how can we win them back?41:46: Is Andrew Tate an incel?45:25: What is the incel pipeline?47:23: What is the function of misogyny? 52:45: Red pill, blue pill, black pill, what are they?54:39: "The Manosphere": Incels, MGTOWs, MRAs and Jordan Peterson57:39: What do we say to our boys?01:02:19: What do politicians do for boys?01:03:58: Is this a "Reefer Madness" for online misogyny? 01:05:09: What comes next for society and incels?01:06:22: How to read William's research? ~Check out William.Costello's research at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/William-Costello-3Or follow him at https://x.com/CostelloWilliamMusic – Uniq, Art of Science

    Why men die by Suicide: TheTinMen meets Dr Susie Bennett

    Suicide is the number one risk to a man's life, each and every day, until he is about 50. Yet, it remains largely in the shadows of political and social advocacy, widely ignored by research, and left out of public debate; as an ugly, inconvenient blemish on the so-called "privileged" gender class of men. It's not getting better. With the latest suicide rates in the UK, being the worst this century, with no signs of slowing down. The battle against this scourge, that robs so much from so many, is being fought, not in the halls of Westminster, or on the streets of our cities; but in quiet corners of the online world, through the diligence, and thankless hard work of a handful of grass roots charities, and brilliant researchers, such as those like Dr. Susie Bennett. In this podcast, Dr. Bennett, recently receiving her PhD in male suicide, talks to George from TheTinMen about their work together, and what she's learnt; lending her impassioned voice to the men who have none, telling us what we needs to change, and revealing the unpopular truths that could finally turn the tide on the epidemic, that devastates the lives of so many men, and bereaved families around the world. ~ Follow Dr Bennett's work at https://malesuicideresearch.com/ Or follow her at https://www.instagram.com/male_suicide_research Music Art of Silence - UniqSource: What might interrupt men's suicide?

    Feminism, fatherhood, and the Boy Crisis, TheTinMen talks to Dr. Warren Farrell

    Dr. Warren Farrell is a man who wears two crowns. Those from the 70s know, in his time, Warren was considered to be the world's most famous male feminist, travelling the globe, advocating for women, opening women's groups, and becoming the first (and only) man to ever be elected three times to the board of directors, at the NY division of the National Organisation of Women – the world's biggest feminist group. He's done his time within the women's movement, a dozen times over, and has the credentials to prove it. And yet, what might surprise you, is that Warren is also credited by many as being the father of Men's Rights Movement itself. So what happened?How could a man so revered by women, be the founder of a movement that supposedly 'hates' them?Let's find out...~You can get hold of Warrens new book athttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Role-Mate-So...Footage credit Clorinda Kaminski 'Warren Farrell protest at University of Toronto - Full version'Music 'Art of Silence'.
