Description

Phallacies: Where bad arguments about manhood come to die.

We take the beliefs dominating discourse about what it is to be a man and put them in 'The Ring', where we steel-man both traditional and progressive positions against a basic line of questioning. Aiming to strip away the irrelevant, emotional, or illogical arguments that keep these conversations stuck.

The goal isn't to dunk on people - it's to build better thinking.

If you're tired of surface-level takes and want to actually examine what you believe about being a man, you're in the right place.

New episodes bi-weekly.

Stoicism vs Broicism

Stoicism vs Broicism

2026-11-0301:35:17

The manosphere loves Marcus Aurelius. His quotes are in the captions, his face is on the thumbnails, and his name is on the merch. But is what they’re selling anything like what he actually taught? Charlie representing the conservative position, argues “Broicism” revived Stoicism for modern men who needed it. Dash representing the progressive position, argues it’s a burglary: they stole the statues and left the philosophy. Both can't be right. We put both in The Ring. Welcome to the Phallacies Podcast.

Women Swearing Off Men

Women Swearing Off Men

2026-10-0701:39:50

Women are swearing off men. Through the 4B movement, going "boy sober," or simply filing for divorce - women are opting out. But is this liberation or self-sabotage? Charlie steelmans the traditional position: women abandoning relationships with men hurts women more than it hurts men. In her Phallacies debut, Carly steelmans the progressive take: the inequities baked into traditional relationships explain exactly why women are leaving, and the only surprising question is why it took this long. Both can't be right. We put it in The Ring. Welcome to the Phallacies Podcast.

Is Trump a strong man?

Is Trump a strong man?

2026-05-1502:08:18

Is Donald Trump a strong man? Traditional voices argue he's the ultimate example of masculine strength - dominant, fearless, successful against all odds, and the only political figure in modern history willing to fight back against a system designed to destroy him. Progressive voices argue the opposite - that Trump is a con man who inherited every advantage, exploited workers, students, and women, built a following by weaponizing people's worst instincts, and mistakes the performance of strength for the real thing.We put both in The Ring to see what survives.
