The Manosphere was created by Feminism. It is feminism's Frankenstein monster

-

Women's spaces will often lament algorithms serving up misgonystic content to young boys and radicalising them into the Manosphere.The blame for this is often directed at various places: men going to the right, search algorithms or any number of places but never at the most obvious cause of this itself.

Search engines, Instagram etc are serving Andrew Tate content to young, teenage, boys within 2 hours of the account being created. It's a neat, scape goat for what is happening isn't it ? Big internet companies are servive up misgynistic content and radicalising a group of teenage boys and causing mayhem for girls. This theory wholeheartedly absolves anyone of any wrong doing and explains why teenage boys are being beastly to innocent teenage girls.

Firstly search algorithms are serving up content they think you will like, what is popular. It is serving up Andrew Tate because he is saying something that other teenage boys have bought into and so the algorithm is serving it up to the new account. This is not an evil, patriachal plan, this is actually far more alarming than that. It's showing that there is an audience for this content, amongst teenage boys. Removing the algorithm doesn't fix anything, the appetite is still there and will simply be served by another content store.


The absolute hysteria over Adolescence, a Netflix FICTIONAL DRAMA shows the attitude that is mainstream and prevalent towards teenage boys. 66.3Million people watched it, Labour started a campaign to have it shown in all schools in the United Kingdom. It absolutely feeds into the latent misandry in the world: boys are violent and bad, girls are innocent and at risk. Again, let's just remember, this is a fictional drama that did not happen.

A month later, April 28th, a 14 year old girl was sentenced for stabbing two teachers at her school. This was not a fictional drama, this was real, it actually happened. Yet were was the public hysteria over this ? Were were Labour warning teachers, or young girls, about violence ? There was none.



There is an undercurrent of misandry in this country, in the world. It repeatedly pumps out the same message over and over. Men and boys are bad, women are good and downtrodden. It leads to people making stupid decisions, over the risks, like saying they'd rather meet a bear in the woods, who could rip them limb from limb, than a man who could help them.

If you are a teenage boy growing up against this backdrop of sexism, against you, due to your gender isn't it natural you are going to follow somebody who tells you "Hey, you are not bad because of your gender?" that tells you "Women have it easy and are a priviledged class?". 

The reality is we need to stop painting boys in such a bad light and we feminism needs to take a good hard look at itself, to it's misandry it repeatedly pumps out and the toxic effect that has in pushing boys to extremists. Until that happens the polarisation, the pushing of boys to extreminists will continue. On reddit, a feminist subreddit won't even allow you to mention misandry:

It's this which is driving radicalisation of young men, it's this which is driving teenage boys to Andrew Tate, it's the outright misandry which men and boys face every, single, day of their lives.

How far modern feminism has fallen from it's wonderful beginnings

I was recently walking around London and came across a statue, I've often walked passed on Charing Cross road near Leicester Square. The statue is of Edith Cavell somebody I know little about. Edith Cavell was a nurse during World War 1 who was celebrated for treating injured soldiers on both sides of the conflict without discrimination. She was fiercely brave and helped 200 servicemen escape occupied Belgium and return to Britain. She was caught by the Germans and executed for failing to observe medical neutrality. The night before her execution this brave woman said "Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone". This is 180 dgerees opposite to the toxic feminism that we currently see in any female space. The absolute glee which fourth wave feminists seem to take in active, bigotred, transphobia is completely unsuprising when you see how sexist & prejudiced modern feminism has become. In my view, it is no longer about equal rights. It...

The myth of women doing the majority of housework

-
Image
This is often trotted out in female spaces with depressing regularity. You can see it here , here and here  and any search of any feminist space will bring out the "Men expect women to do all the housework" trope. There are even studies on this which, on the surface, would seem to confirm that women do more housework than men.  Digging into these studies and it becomes quickly apparent they are extremely skewed and don't provide a very thorough picture. Measuring all household work There are two main methods used to measure household work done. The first is a survey, where you simply ask what chores people do, assign time to them and from that you find who is doing the most. This has the benefit that it's less intrusive, you can do a 30min survey and get your data, but you lack accuracy. A more intrusive, but more accurate method, is to keep a time diary. That is people note down what they are doing and from that you tot up the time on housework. The problem with th...

The oppressed can't be the oppresor - why feminists accept sexism in their spaces

-
Image
In any feminist space you will find misandry, quickly and easily. Whenever feminists are asked about the sexism in their spaces, or movement, they generally reply by disputing that misandry exists, minimising it's effects or with whatboutism stating that male misogyny effects women far worse. The huge problem with this is that feminism has already accepted sexism at it's core. It sees sexism everywhere and because of this has now accepted sexism.Misandric comments, ideas, man hating are all  absolutely rife in feminist spaces . Claiming that misandry is fine because the oppressed can never be the oppressor is not borne out by history which tells us a very, very different story. Oppressed people, who accept prejudice to their oppresor have a strong tradition of repeating their oppression in an even worse way. If you look at the actions of Israel in Palestine then you can see, very clearly, how an oppressed people (the Jews in World War 2) really are very, very capable of being ...
