Why are so many young men searching for answers about masculinity online? In this episode of Women on the Brink, we explore the disappearing rite of passage for boys, the importance of male mentorship, and why the transition from boyhood to manhood has become so unclear in modern culture. Drawing on the work of mythologist Joseph Campbell and examples from traditional societies, we ask: are young men failing, or have we simply stopped guiding them?
