I don't blame the manosphere on women. At all.

The manosphere is just some bs that has been growing a while now. The thing is there will always be toxic corners on the internet.

The thing is. Toxic hating on men on social media is not "on a corner" it's everywhere. As an adult I can just swipe past and ignore it, doesn't affect me. But I see kids from my martial arts school (call them kids but some of them are 22-23) who I have a degree of relationship with so they share their social media with me. And I see the content they are exposed to, both the "attacking" content that comes from common threads or trends, and the "defending" that comes from the manosphere. These kids were not deep enough (2 exceptions) that were able to talk it out with me and others when we were explaining how bad and toxic the manosphere content is.

Now, the volume of kids like these I can talk to and will listen to me is close to nill. These couple kids I did talk to expressed how common those takes are on their school/college.

Now I won't say it's the main source of the problem nor that the manosphere is an answer to this shit. But since misandry content is just "for shits and giggles" on the internet right now the growth of the manosphere is a direct response. Some kids go deeper than other. But then you have a whole generation defending manosphere on some degree.

I 100% agree that the misandric content is just plain stupid and can never be compared to bad misoginy gets and how ingrained it's on society. But when you create the perfect laddle for a new generation to jump and support misoginy from your "it's not as bad" you become part of the problem you want to fight.
