Netflix's 'Adolescence': How Culture Shapes Toxic Masculinity

Netflix's Adolescence is great! But, not perfect. It's an interesting catalyst for conversation.

It dives into the complexities of masculinity and the influence of online spaces on young people. There's been a lot of discourse on it, but let's talk about it!

Be it Andrew Tate's influence, the manosphere, and how modern culture shapes men's self-perception and their relationships with women.

Let’s rethink how we discuss masculinity, the influences that shape it and how community and culture may play a bigger role in normalised misogyny than we may care to admit.

New here?
I cover media and discussion topics from a black leftist lens framed around The Boondocks, black identity and a range of nerdy stuff I'm into. In my spare time, I supply food for a foodbank, infrequently attend an afro diaspora community garden and I'm developing a black indie video game called NIXIE.

If any of that sounds cool or interesting, keep in the loop. Or don't.
I probably don't care.
