Manosphere II: Electric Boogaloo (Free Chiang Mai Discussion Night)

Manosphere II: Electric Boogaloo

At our first discussion on the Manosphere, we named the problem. We talked about weaponized victimhood and what masculinity looks like when it goes wrong. But criticism without construction is just a complaint — and Questions That Matter does its best to avoid that.

So for our second conversation on the Manosphere, we're asking some harder questions like: what could positive masculinity actually look like? Not the Instagram version, but the real thing. Men who are genuinely strong without needing to dominate, who can be present without needing to perform, and who have potentially figured out how to carry and address their pain without projecting onto the people around them.

The Manosphere attempts to tell men who they are and what they're for. If we're serious about considering something better, we need to be able to imagine and describe it honestly without turning it into a lecture. For this Wednesday, come ready to explore questions and prompts such as:

1. In your opinion, what would an actual evolved Manosphere influencer/teacher look like if we were actually moving forward and evolving?

2. What does healthy masculinity look like under pressure, such as during financial stress, relationship failure, public embarrassment?

3. How could we address men's genuine struggles without diminishing other groups' progress or experiences?

4. Could it be that men actually aren’t even facing a crisis, and that it is just what equality feels like to people who once had advantages that have been reduced?

As usual, the goal of the night isn't simply to agree, disagree, or learn. It's also to connect through genuine, lively, interactive discussion and, potentially, to go to some of the unexpected and uncharted places that deep and free conversation can take us.

Since we started Questions That Matter, between 25 and 50 people have joined us weekly. When we wrap up, we hope you'll mingle and exchange numbers. Additionally, every week many of us go for dinner and you're very welcome to join us. As polarized as the world is right now, one of the deepest connections still available to human beings is a shared meal.

Whether you're in Chiang Mai for a short visit or you're a long-term expat, we hope you can join us - not only to explore the deeper questions but to make new connections and friendships.

If possible, please support the venue, 4Seas, by purchasing a beverage or a snack. They're kindly providing the space for us at no charge.

See you on Wednesday.
