But Why Are Boys Turning to Misogyny? | Masculinity, Media & the World of Adolescence

In this episode, Kristin and Laura take a psychological deep dive into Netflix’s Adolescence, a gripping series that explores how one teenage boy ends up committing an unthinkable act. But instead of focusing on who did it, the show—and this conversation—asks why. Together, we explore: • What incel culture is and how boys are drawn into it • The role of social media, masculinity myths, and loneliness • How families and schools can better support emotional growth • Why girls' safety is still treated as secondary • The emotional toll of being unheard—for everyone This episode is about more than one story. It’s about the cultural conditions we’ve created—and the conversations we still need to have. Socials: https://linktr.ee/butwhy.pod
