On #NCFCounterCulture this week, our panel discuss the myth of Toxic Masculinity and highly questionable statements on the "harmfulness" of "traditional masculinity" by gender studies academics as well as the American Psychological Association.

Questions addressed:

Are men under attack?
Is there a gender pay gap?
Why are white working-class males the most disadvantaged group in the United Kingdom?
Why do men account for 3/4 of suicides? And why is suicide the leading cause of death for males under the age of 50?

The panel argue that it is a LACK of masculinity that is the problem facing society today. (Such as fatherless families)
