Nina Power is a social theorist, philosopher and an author.

Between incels and toxic masculinity, manspreading, mansplaining, MeToo, MGTOW, Red Pill and Mens Rights, working out what men want from life is a question that both men and women are struggling with. Nina is trying to work out whether men have a firm place to stand in the modern world any more, and why masculinity is under attack.

Expect to learn Nina's post-mortem on men's role in society, how masculinity's crisis hurts women and their future prospects, why Nina disagrees with modern feminism as a long-standing Second Wave Feminist philosopher, how we got to the stage where fear and mistrust of men is widespread, why NoFap ended up being called a hate group, whether the sexual revolution was a good thing and much more...
