  1. history repeats. we get to do the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and 70’s again.

    that was a quick turn around, hold on to your butts.

  2. ah yes the intangible right wing boogeyman. first it was incels, then it was russia, now it is the amorphous “manosphere”

    LMFAO. get a fuckin clue.

  3. Surely treating women poorly will lead to more dates right?

  4. I’m an older Gen Z-er. This is what I believe happened and also witnessed somewhat based off my time growing up in rural America and also living in cities for college, meaning I got to see both-

    Basically, all the hot women we grew up seeing are either liberals or liberal passing. The “wait til marriage/go to church” Conservative woman aren’t really in vogue right now but there’s obviously a shit load of young Trumpy men.

    They want these hot liberal women they see on TV. They might agree with Honey Boo Boo on politics but they don’t want those women. They firmly believe that they deserve Sidney Sweeney because their Fortnite skills are off the chain and their hypothetical “rizz” is unmatched.

    So instead, their new thing is wanting to like basically subjugate women and they think politics is their “gotcha”. But women are actually human beings and are more likely to say “Fuck you” than bend to the will of Andrew Tate U PHDs.

    This is basically an existential crisis for these dudes because it means they need to work on themselves and they’ve been told they don’t have any inherent problems and it’s everyone else and society that has failed them.

    We’re a generation trapped in arrested development. Society has failed them but mostly by not kicking their ass.

  5. Yup. These people view other people as objects. Women included. But also children and weaker individuals because they get off on the power. They’ve been losers their entire lives, incels and women hating morons. Now they think they’re in control and it’s further from the truth. They’ll always be losers. Insignificant. You can’t lower the standards of those who’ve been through adversity. Their morals, standards, and ethics far exceed these losers.

  6. Appears to be a rather one sided article and rather superficial at best. Takes one statement, discusses its spread, defines/declares it as misogyny, then assigns that term to a group whose name would never be tolerated if used in other contexts – eg “blackosphere”, “womanosphere”. It then attributes the rise of members of that group to political outcomes and motives (unestablished) and further claims that women are the victims. This is the kind of hit piece that would be unthinkable if reversed.

    Do better. If there is a need to improve things, then figuring out solutions rather than demonizing others is likely the way forward.

  8. I love my wife. I treat her with respect and let her make her own decisions. She’s free to do as she pleases, as am I.

    Somehow this has become an issue. She is my PARTNER and my love, why wouldn’t I want her to have a say? Why wouldn’t I want her to have the best life possible? She’s my second half and the reason I am how I am today

  10. fear mongering is back on the menu boys. the next 4 years will be quite something. these people will invent 20 new boogeyman that live under their beds.

  11. I hate how conservatives have chosen the stupidest choices.

    We could literally have flying cars and Jetsons type life if we didn’t have to fight conservatives for every single micrometer of societal progress.

    If they offered anything in return for such difficulties,, that’d be one thing.

    But they don’t. They offer society literally nothing, their value to society is a negative net benefit.

    We need to first castrate the rich and their chokehold on society, then ground out conservative values from society as well. Make it so being hateful, bigoted, willfully stupid, and selfish are all so societally stigmatized that no one does behaves such ways.

  12. Republicans: The party of sexual abusers, rapists and pedophiles

    Donald Trump, Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, Robert F Kennedy Jr,

    “I will only hire the best people”-Donald Trump

  13. I dread the military and traditionally male-dominated industries for women right now. The amount of people emboldened by these assholes is off the charts

  14. Guh,

    As a dude, I’m sorry ladies. I don’t know how to undo patriarchy. I don’t know how to unfuck these views that so many young men have from people that are platformed and sponsored by the corporate world.

    You have always lived in a world that treats you like prey.

    It’s not getting better.

    All I know, is that the only way anything has ever gotten better in the world is when people have gotten together and worked at it.

    So what I will say to you now is to prepare. Get your self right. Think about you and what you need. Prepare to be alone and get what you need. Learn how be you and exist as you.

    Cultivate a garden of the self. Cultivate a real one too if you can!

    Focus on your self and what you can do by yourself first.

    When you run out of things to do on your own, find other women that might know.

    Just always remember that you do not need a man. There is nothing we can do that you can’t.

    A little song for you if you made it through that: [https://open.spotify.com/track/0kWxKSg5KmfhFv33qpMUUC?si=0ce23d7e31e14995](https://open.spotify.com/track/0kWxKSg5KmfhFv33qpMUUC?si=0ce23d7e31e14995)

    We can’t fit on the internet.

  15. This is what America is, it’s what America wants. Disgusting cesspool.

  16. “Manosphere”…these are not men. They are incels and insecure boys

  17. Trump winning is just validation of all their hateful rhetoric.

  18. If you are a woman & your dude likes this shit. Drop him. If you’re a dude & a friend likes this shit. Drop him. If you like this shit. Get dropped.

  19. I manage the SM for a female “influencer.” 99% of the crap comments are from conservative men. When you look at their profiles, it’s always trump, never a big picture of Obama.
