What is the Manosphere?
The Manosphere is a huge online community of men and young boys which is centred around projecting extreme and harmful ideas of how men should behave. The Manosphere is not one coordinated community, but is actually an umbrella term that includes a range of smaller communities and individual creators.
These communities and creators will not necessarily show the same content or even have the exact same opinions on everything, however they all share a common thread in endorsing traditional ideas of what it means to be a man, and encouraging men to take up a dominant role over women.
Common Manosphere extremist opinions include:
-
- Men and Women have 2 seperate roles in society, and everyone should abide by them
- Boys should not express emotion or care, and should always assert their dominance over others
- Men are superior to women in almost every way
- Men should dominate women physically and sexually
