Social Justice Ideology Fosters Mental Illness - Ryan Rogers

Ryan Rogers joins Something For Everybody this week. Ryan is a clinical mental health counseling intern. He is also author of The Woke Mind and host of the Reality Therapy podcast.

In this conversation, Ryan and I explore the rise of activism in academia, the impact of social movements, and the implications of social justice ideology on mental health. We discuss the concept of privilege walks, the demonization of hard work, and the search for meaning and belonging among individuals, particularly young boys. The conversation also delves into the complexities of masculinity, the state of wokeness in society, and the controversial topic of gender affirming care.
