I don't consider men talking on to each other on the internet to be the manosphere, but it does seem to be the source of some of your most egregiously wrong knee-jerk beliefs about women, so I'm going to stand by my original assessment that it serves primarily as a place to indulge in and solidify anti-woman sentiments. Andrew Tate is just the tip of the ice berg. There is a well-documented and deeply concerning level of hateful radicalization that is taking place with young boys as well as young men being targeted and indoctrinated into various iterations of Red Pill ideology across the West. That may come in form of incels, or PUAs or MRAs or social conservatives, but it's all related and it's toxic and predatory as shit. It preys on men and boys who are looking for community and support and teaches them vitriol and dehumanization of women, that white men are the real victims of society and that women and the empowerment of women is the source of most of their problems. I'm going to be writing something about this as soon as I can stomach it, but the research is deeply disturbing and disheartening because this movement is clearly gaining ground.
