This is Part 1 of our Masculinity Series on Allied We Can Cross the Aisle. In this solo episode, Eric Miller unpacks the myth of the “alpha male” and the dangerous grip it has on a generation of young men.
Titled Unfollow the Alpha, the episode reveals how toxic masculinity isn’t just a cultural undercurrent—it’s a lucrative industry. Eric breaks down how online influencers and social platforms monetize insecurity by selling rigid, hyper-dominant ideals of manhood. What starts as dating advice or confidence tips quickly becomes a pipeline to emotional suppression, misogyny, and even far-right ideology.
Drawing from his own story growing up with a single mother and an absent father, Eric shares how outdated definitions of masculinity shaped his own journey—and what it took to unlearn them. He also outlines the real costs of chasing the “alpha” ideal: loneliness, shame, broken relationships, and emotional numbness.
But this episode isn’t about tearing anyone down. It’s about lifting up a better vision—one rooted in self-awareness, connection, and genuine strength.
Listen or watch to Part 1 now and begin the journey toward healthier masculinity.
