The article discusses the troubling rise of misogyny within the manosphere, a social media subset where young, educated men frame themselves as victims of feminism. These influencers propagate anti-feminist sentiments and toxic ideologies through professionally produced content, which ranges from manipulative dating advice to overt misogyny. While they claim to uphold traditional values, their messages often seek to oppress women and reinforce outdated gender roles. This environment cultivates a belief that society is biased against men, leading followers down a path of frustration and discontent with modern gender dynamics.
These masculinity influencers often young and well-educated men present themselves as victims of feminism and call for their power to be "reclaimed."
This manosphere claims to be based on natural and traditional values, but it's actually about oppression, says Tara-Louise Wittwer, an author and video producer.
According to this traditional worldview, women are actively chosen by men. This is one of the alpha male's desired motives, says Wittwer.
After a few hours scrolling through the world of masculinity influencers, one notices they share a similar perception of the world: Modern society is set against men.
