I have been. Most people outside of the manosphere, especially women, don't understand it.
While there are always some similarities, not everybody in the manosphere believes the same things, at all. In fact some hate the other groups in the manosphere. It would take too long to fully explain, but people outside the manosphere mistakenly lump all of the groups together.
Are there bitter misogynists and incels in the manosphere? Yes. There are also men who've been happily married for decades who don't hate women at all.
As you say it's a collection of websites, blogs, youtube channels etc. And it's basically men speaking with other men without a filter and without any female influence.
PUAs: these are guys who talk about and/or give advice on how to get laid. That's all they're interested in.
Red-pillers: guys who are more interested in using behavioural/evolutionary psychology to understand inter-sexual dynamics, not only when it comes to getting laid but also to understand relationships and marriage.
MRAs: men's rights activists, very often former feminists actually such as Warren Farrell, who used to serve on the NYC board of the National Organisation for Women. Egalitarians who think that feminism has gone too far the other way.
MGTOW: guys who avoid marriage and relationships with women (or claim to at least, often it's the other way around) because they think that it's too risky in today's culture.
Incels: guys who talk on forums about not getting laid and how terrible women are.
When I was younger I was into PUA. I was just a shy kid trying to learn how to get better with women, and I did. Then I got into the red-pill. I was never really into the rest although I've read some of their stuff.
A lot of people call PUAs/redpill misogynistic but that's just because our views aren't feminist. We don't believe in blank slate equalism for example, we're "sexist" because we think (know) that there are biological differences between men and women.
Thats not what the "manosphere" is. "hostility to women", what do you mean by that? I mean are women apart of the "femosphere' for pushing hostility to men (which they do quite frequently (literally every feminist))?
Their is nothing wrong with masculinity so acting as if that is a problem is not just ignorant, its also really sexist (not that it matters since no one takes sexism against men seriously, especially not women).
As for strong opposition to feminism, yes I do have that as I am not rabidly sexist nor self loathing. I do not support discrimination, sexism, or hurting people based upon their gender and any sane person would oppose these things and by extension feminism.
Don't know about misogyny. I think its rather disingenuous to claim this as happening when we all know that it is over used and generally attributed to men who are pointing to actual issues and actual behaviors of women (something women are apparently allowed to do (hell they are allowed to make up things about men but a man can never criticise a woman (which is again, rather sexist)).
What about you? Do you support sexism against men in the form of feminism? Do you push exaggerated misandry? Do you think their is something wrong with masculinity?
I've moved on from it, but still retain my views on the biological differences and social dynamics between men and women. Same with the alt-right. Men get sucked into these online subcultures because of the fascinating insight into human biodiversity and human nature that is heavily suppressed by the Western libtard hegemony. The suppression of these "dark" truths and theories, and the ostracism of anyone who espouses them, leads to men heavily immersing themselves into these movements since they feel alienated from society via their involvement with them, and also because of a feeling of "having to catch up" on a subject matter they've been shielded from all their life. Were it not for the suppression of these realities, men wouldn't be so engrossed by it. It would not have a totalizing effect on their mind and personal life.
That said, as engrossing as it is, eventually you get the big picture and then move on to other things to explore and learn about. So you can say these right-wing subcultures are essentially a phase that men eventually move on from once these suppressed truths lose their novelty.
No and I have never heard of such a term.
I want equality between genders and feel no hatred towards either gender, I have friends of both genders and the ones I rely on for deep conversations about embarrassing things are girls whereas the ones I go to for rougher play fights and dark humour is to the guys.
I am a feminist but the word gets really hated because of radical feminists who have changed the ideology and now think feminism means all men are evil when real feminism means wanting the equality and equal opportunities between genders.
I want Equality of genders, I don't know why people seem to consider this such a massive thing to ask, hopefully one day we will get there, I can only hope.
I also funnily enough get a lot of concerned faces and comments when I say I am a Feminist because of the Radical ones who have now only caused a terrible view of the name, it is actually hard to find videos of the feminists who want equality of genders because the ones who mainly get videos are haters of men.
I was raised by a strong woman.
I (finally) married a quality woman.
I'm raising two strong and independent thinker women. I don't know about these websites but bashing "the other side" is contrived and manipulative mindset that American's fall for repeatedly. I'll admit that I do regarding politics at times because people choose to be ignorant but regarding sexuality? Pointless. Everyone is born worthy of love and respect. Taking a competitive mindset instead of a cooperative one is foolish and detrimental.
Focusing on the negative of either side shows neither hope nor love, just bitterness and hate... and that leads to the dark side...😉.
Lmao. I’ll pass.
Reminds me of 8th grade English class once when our class clown had this big argument with our dork of a teacher that the empty air space in a sealed bag of chips or something is called “the snackosphere.” And an internet search tells me that this is an actual thing, so good on this kid for knowing that in ‘92, pre-internet, when all we had was Encyclopedia Britannica lmao.
People are all unique regardless of their gender. Trying to put all women or all men in the same boat has no rational basis. That's why all of these movements lead to nowhere and dissiminate more hate and unrest within society.
It also reminds me of people who say things such as "humans are stupid" or "humans destroyed the planet" or "I hate people".. same fallacy there.
These groups need to understand that moral values is what sets people apart. There are good people and bad people, good women and bad women, good men and bad men.
I voted no, and I'm a conservative with right-leaning political ideologies.
No. I have no interest in wasting time with men who have nothing better to do than whine about how oppressed they are because of women. I have no interest in listening to men call women sluts. It's all sour grapes.
Women are people. I don't like all of them. All men and women are individuals. Some are cool and some are ass holes.
But thank goodness for sweet, feminine, heterosexual women.
Until you mentioned it I’d never heard of it. I wouldn’t be part of something like that either as Women should have their rights too, they can do the same jobs as men do and many are nurses or careers so will save your life and look after you. Women deserve their rights and men shouldn’t try to take them away from them.
No, I'm not part of the manosphere. I've read their material and watched their videos. I find PUAs and MGTOWs to be the most comical. Now I do find them retarded in many ways, but what they are not, is associated with the alt-right or far right. In fact many of them are apolitical. MGTOWs and Incels react to me in much the same way as American women react when I say I primarily only date East Asian women, which is they snear and/or get angry with me. Contrast this with the alt-right where I've had a number of alt-righters wanted me murdered just for having sex with an East Asian woman.
Your answer is in your own question, fi you ask feminists why are they feminist also have you ever asked about misandary to any feminists lol feminists are thd females who even attack other females who are not associated with there cause lol 😂.
Well I am part of neither misogyny nor misandary but b4 one points finger at others one must see the mirror first also directly blaming and laughing is not a solution study on both ends then keep some reasonable points not just mock lol or else it isn't worth..
No, I'm an advocate of treating everyone the same. But of course, women tend to view that positively when it benefits them, and negatively if it doesn't. You can see that in action right here on this site. A majority of women think that they should be able to abuse men with no retaliation (because *just as defined in the manosphere* of inherent physical differences between the sexes); I think any woman who feels fit enough to throw down should be treated like any man. A majority of women think that the man should pay for dates or he's a loser, where I think a women who expects this is equally a loser. But I also think that women's opinions and accomplishments should be given the same respect as any man's
