...because it is. Zito discusses how a few things have recently collided in his life that made it seem like this is the time to speak up about the so-called "Manosphere" of Bro Podcasts and YouTube videos that boys are exposed to that give them a warped sense of their relationship to the world and their relationship with women. The biggest weapon to combat this skewed image of masculinity is a good dad.
