Two doctors discuss the challenges for the medical sector from a warmer world

In a new article for Ms. Magazine, Culture Reframed Founder and CEO Gail Dines and actor, activist, and Culture Reframed ambassador Ashley Judd discuss the breakout Netflix mini-series “Adolescence.” 🤳🏼 Together, they explore the dangerous influence of the manosphere on boys and the connection to p**nography—the "one missing element" in the show.

💬 They write: "The show centers on a 13-year-old boy, Jamie, a typical lad, vulnerable, like so many other young men, to the venom of online misogyny spewed through unbridled social media, chatrooms, blogs, and podcasts. This angry ideology, masquerading as manly virtue, blames women for male alienation and promotes violent sexuality and the dehumanization of women—the very narratives of p**n."

Our brains are wired to go negative. When you hesitate to say what’s on your mind or you beat around the bush with your partner, their brain won’t patiently wait until you are forthright with them.

It will spin with all the negative possibilities it can come up with.

This can cause their threat level to elevate and potentially spark a conflict, even if whatever you’re thinking about has nothing to do with them.

How do you change this habit?

As an exercise, agree to immediately answer each other when asking, “What’s on your mind?” throughout the week. Try to answer as soon as they ask you, even if that means stumbling while you find the words you need.

The better you become at being candid with each other when you’re feeling good, the easier it will be to open up when you’re in emotional distress.
