What is the 'manosphere' and when does banter escalate from inappropriate to incendiary?

About a month ago, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told podcast host Joe Rogan, “I think a lot of the corporate world is pretty culturally neutered.” He went on to say that, “masculine energy is good,” and that having a culture that “celebrates the aggression a bit more” has merits.

New York Times reporter Joseph Bernstein says the comments are part of what he and others call the “mansophere,” a masculine culture that’s been rising in American culture and politics that was once confined to online spaces and private groups. Some of it is innocuous pro-bro banter, but often, as Bernstein points out, promotes and ignites violence and misogyny.  He joins Here & Now to talk about the manosphere and why it matters.
