Manosphere

Not to be confused with Men's Liberation

Manosphere is a culturally right-wing collection of movements characterized by a focus on masculinity, anti-feminism and extreme misogyny. Manosphere covers the men's rights movement, incels, Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), pick-up artists and the fathers' rights movement.

It is often politically associated with the Alt-Right. Manosphere movements are heavily implicated in online harassment and violence against women. However, some manosphere movements identify as left-wing, or even anti-sexists, although the validity of such claims is dubious.

Beliefs
While every group that conforms the Manosphere has their own set of ideologies, they have some overarching core beliefs:
 * Modern western society has been corrupted by feminism.
 * There are inherent behavioral differences between men and women.
 * Men should adopt a hyper-masculine role and get women to submit to them.
 * The concept of the "taking the red pill", a metaphor borrowed from The Matrix, which refers to the "awakening" of men to the supposed reality that society is inherently misandrist and that men are oppressed by women. Conversely, not accepting this ideology is referred to as "taking the blue pill".
 * There are a variety of other "pills" not from The Matrix, such as the "black pill", which advocates for fatalism, defeatism for the unattractive, a deep hatred of women and the belief that they are hopeless in romance. Another one is the "purple pill", a lefist perspective on Manosphere ideology.
 * Men are divided into "alpha" and "beta" males, where "alphas" are sexually dominant and attractive, while "betas" are undesirable and unattractive. They also believe women gravitate towards "beta" males for financial benefits.
 * Some left-leaning Manosphere groups believe that men, especially the economically disadvantaged, the poor, minorities and people with mental disabilities or physical deformities are often forced by society to be lonely and are essentially forced into a lower class and often are feared by women who often are defended by the state and is used to justify things like police brutality against minorities to protect white women. Because of this, a sexual revolution mostly if not entirely of men must take place.

A lot of manosphere movements are heavily related to the alt-right, and  white nationalist movements. Much like those movements, Manosphere groups are racist and xenophobic. However, some do tolerate minorities, whether inside or outside their group. Certain groups also include some LGBT identities, usually bisexuals and pansexuals.

One movement that stands out from the other Manosphere movements is the Fathers' rights movement, as it is not explicitly far-right or anti-feminist. However, the movement does contain a large amount of misogynists.

Personality and Behavior
Manosphere is terminally online and a NEET. He enjoys watching "Feminists Owned" compilations, run YouTube channels, playing video games (mostly Japanese ones), reading comic books and manga, watching animated series (specially anime) and being constantly on social media. He is very bitter towards female ideologies, and has very few friends. He is obsessed with his own appearance, trying to make himself sexually attractive to women to appear as an "alpha". He usually blames women for all of his problems. Obviously, he is very misogynstic and racist.
