Reset sits down with Chuka Nestor Emezue, assistant professor in the Department of Women, Children and Family Nursing at Rush University; Todd Adams, cofounder and executive director of MenLiving; and Jermaine Lawrence Anderson, founder and executive director of I Am A Gentleman, Inc., to talk about the impact the manosphere has on young men, and what to do about it.
