The “Incel” (involuntary celibate) conversation is ubiquitous in 2026, dominating many of the discussions about men, masculinity, and the “manosphere.” In 2025, I was invited as a featured expert for the podcast series “Incels” on iHeart’s True Crime podcast network.
Here is the description of the show:
“Hidden deep in online forums, a growing subculture thrives on anger, isolation, and blame: incels, or “involuntary celibates.” Incels see themselves as rejected by women and overshadowed by so-called “Chads”—the confident, attractive men they believe they can never be. Their frustration often mutates into open hostility, harassment, and, in the most extreme cases, acts of violence.
Incels takes listeners inside this unsettling world—not to sensationalize it, but to understand it. Through expert analysis, first-hand accounts, and the voices of former incels, we break down how these communities operate, why they’re growing, and the psychological traps that keep men locked in cycles of resentment. With chilling stories and deep insight, Incels reveals the human cost of a culture built on hate—and the path forward for those ready to leave it behind.”

I believe it is our responsibility as men to create the communities and cultures that help men recognize other ways of being men, and change the reality of frustration, hopelessness, and disconnection that fuels the incel culture. These men are not failures. They are not hopeless. They are, however, deeply misled by a culture that blames and attacks women, feminism, and ‘successful’ men instead of confronting the complexity of systemic factors that have fundamentally changed men’s self-perception and opportunities in the world.

“Toxic” Femininity & Masculinity: How The Establishment Divides Us | Boysen Hodgson
“Masculinity and femininity are inherently beautiful, yet the media has distorted these words with the phrase “toxic.” Together, now we get to decide as a culture how to move forward with a new narrative. Society is changing, and we’re not going backward.” – Boysen Hodgson
What factors of our culture and society are no longer serving the feminine and masculine? How can we come and work together to create something new that fits what we want?
In Wellness + Wisdom episode 258, Marketing & Communications Director for The ManKind Project USA and author of The New Macho, Boysen Hodgson, explains what has created “toxic” masculinity and feminity, how men and women can process and connect through safe spaces, and the #IAmResponsible Campaign that MKP has launched in response to #MeToo.
Learn how men can support each other to heal from their past traumas, come to their whole masculine and feminine selves, and realign with women.

I was recently quoted in an article by Harvey Deutschendorf for Fast Company Magazine on building cultures of mentoring in organizations. The same article was republished in HR Professional Magazine. Building relational skills is an important aspect of men’s work.
Leaders must set clear goals, encourage involvement, make thoughtful matches, and provide significant support.
