When we talk about the manosphere in this podcast series, the focus is often on angry white men, and their frustrations with women in general, feminists in particular. But there are also parts of the manosphere that are not run by and for white men.

This podcastepisode is about one of those places, namely the Black Manosphere. Here, especially British and American black men vent their frustrations about feminism, "strong black women" and what they see as the undermining of the black family through podcasts, TikTok videos and YouTube essays. Here you find Passport bros, MGTOWS, Hoteps and a lot of misogynoir. To help us understand the black manosphere, we have a visit from Ph.D. Alexandria Onuoha from Suffolk University, who has studied and written about the black manosphere from her perspective as a developmental psychologist.

The episode is part of the Cyber norms ongoing series about the manosphere. Find Danish language episodes here
