The brilliant Megan Crabbe is back to unpack the rise of the manosphere, how it’s shaping ideas around masculinity, and whether it’s beginning to infiltrate queer spaces.

We dive into the real-world impact of online extremism, from shifting gender norms to rising homophobia, and ask whether queer communities are feeling less safe as a result. Megan shares her perspective as both a queer woman and an influencer navigating an increasingly hostile online space.

The brilliant Charlie Craggs joins me this week to talk about what happens when your existence becomes a debate and how that seeps into everything from dating and work to how honest we feel we can be online.

From dating app chaos to social media pressure and the reality of speaking your mind as a public figure, we get honest about what it really looks like behind the scenes.

Plus, we answer your questions on honesty, identity, and whether the current climate has changed how we show up in our everyday lives…
