On LIFE Unfiltered this week, Maria talks about a subject that’s as charged as it is misunderstood, masculinity.

Recently U.S. Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley declared that America has entered an “era of real masculinity” under Donald Trump – an era of “muscular leadership.”
And UK soap EastEnders has been exploring a storyline on the “manosphere”, exposing how young men can get pulled into online worlds that promise strength and belonging but often deliver anger and isolation instead.

DCU assistant professor of psychotherapy Dr Ray O’Neill talks to Maria about how our ideas of manhood are formed and how men can take the pressure off. You can find out more about Ray at www.machna.ie
