The show is over-hyped. It was OK, but not amazing. And while it raises awareness, it also reinforces harmful stereotypes about all boys/men being out of control misogynists - fuelling further blatant, but somehow accepted , sexism from women/girls in the form of blanket contempt towards boys/men. This latter concept is called misandry, by the way. There, you learnt a new word.

The division is caused by the left 😂

Graham is fantastic actor! All the best!

Men need to be shown empathy.
@
Yeh ok. What about showing men some "empathy" rather than pathologising and demonising them??
@
Isn’t this man a builder
@
What a wonderful man and role model
@
Adolescence broke me a bit. Clearly I haven't read this book yet, but this interview and Stephen Graham's honest, simple yet eloquent conversation had me transfixed.

Fathers should protect their kids from the predators out there.
Because the government and police won't.
@
what's funny is that men are more capable of empathy, because they can empathise with more than just their own gender
@
How boring.

Adolescence was propaganda, there's no rise in that kind of behaviour if you look into it

Love Stephen Graham!

Empathy means understanding and understanding means strength.
