Men are becoming increasingly right-wing politically and increasingly lonely socially, men simply cannot deal with their emotions, and men continue to be responsible for the majority of all acts of violence: these statements reflect the entire plight of contemporary masculinity. The world seems to be full of brutally fragile guys.

It's time to take a closer look at them: in his live lecture Brutal Fragile Guys, Ole Liebl gets to the bottom of men and their feelings. What does the inability to feel have to do with anti-feminist radicalization on the internet? What are we overlooking when we assume that men have fewer feelings than women? How can you recognize toxic progressive men? Why are macho guys so often melancholic? How are women and queer people emotionally exploited? And what does Spider-Man have to do with all this? Entertaining, dense, and, despite the tough topics, equipped with a good dose of humor, Ole Liebl brings the results of modern masculinity research closer to us in an understandable way.
