Theres this quote I love from Brennan Lee Mulligan, quoting his professor:
"... people are not motivated by ideological codes. People are motivated by impulse and construct ideological codes to justify and rationalize what they were already going to do. An old professor of mine had this great thing. He said, āOn the level of individuals and civilizations, personality predates ideology.ā Meaning that before you were a fascist, you were a bully and an asshole".

25y/o, Iām AFAB, but my 49y/o MARRIED dad has been listening to and repeating a lot of manosphere stuff in recent years. This man has 3 daughters and a wife (plus my brother who has thankfully not fallen for this bs), and any time Iāve tried to push back on his rhetoric he just goes on about how I donāt understand and then he just walks away while Iām mid-sentence. He speaks to my mother like sheās a toddler. He says rude shit about my little brother for not being āmasculineā enough. He just sits at the kitchen table, drinking and watching ātriggered libs,ā Andrew Tate, and other misogynistic creators like JLP all day and ignores or condescends to us all day.
I truly feel like the manosphere (among other ideologies) has stolen my dad from us.

If there is ONE THING I have been able to be proud of myself for, itās that I NEVER got into the manosphere despite my depression, low self esteem and worsening mental health. I knew that, despite my suffering, to be arrogant and blame my suffering on others was a delusion. I found the problems from within.

As a young black man in my early twenties trying to figure out how to be a good traditional masculine man without a dad, i was completely sucked into the manosphere when covid hit back in 2020. After years of watching that content i used to be very prejudice of women because I believed the rhetoric that was being given to me by the creators in that space. It wasnāt until recently when i stoped watching the content and all of the rage bait and started to improve my social skills that I realized how much of a negative mindset i used to have. Iām so grateful that there are creators like F.D signifier who make these great video essays to explain just how much damage the manosphere is doing. Thank you mr. Signifier for your hard work šš¾

23 Year old lonely bitter dude here, got into the whole redpill and manosphere stuff when I was 19 because I was bitter that I wasnt desired by people. Only thing it made me was more bitter and depressed because I was everything the manosphere says women despise. Short, brown, funny accent, weird eyes, weird nose and a weird smile. Took me a while to get out of it but I did eventually. Still dont like myself BUT at least Im not as bitter as i was. It was your videos on the manosphere and some others that got me to start questioning it. Im just ranting at this point but your videos were great help to get me out of that weird circle
(Ps I'm Pakistani and English isn't my first language so I apologize if some parts don't make sense, trying my best)

It just occured to me the other day that creating insecurity in order to exploit people is a really fundamental form of evil in the human experience, and it has always had it's forms in all the past eras, and how many "traditional masculine roles" like soldiers and factory workers have also been forms of exploitation of insecurity - and the irony is that so many people think those roles are how things should be. Naah, you just got socialized into the idea, and are now suffering from a stockholm syndrome.

Five years ago I found out about my wifeās many infidelities throughout our fifteen year marriage. I was completely traumatized. I was working through my recovery and stumbled upon MGTOW content. It was really easy to fall into the trappings of those ideas because I was so hurt.
Fortunately my affair recovery program and therapists pushed back on these ideas and I didnāt stay in there too long so I empathize with men who fall into because itās very enticing when you feel so broken. When you feel like youāre not enough.
Today Iām much healthier and Iām grateful for content like this because it helps me from falling back into the trappings of manosphere ideas and rhetoric.
F.D, you are appreciated

His salary buys less, but his pride begs him to say, āThe woman in my life doesn't have to work, and I like it that way.ā What he really may mean is that although his harem has only one occupant at a time, he does not want her wandering about too freely without the veil that the home provides. He is not nearly as secure in his masculine role as he would have others believe, and he allows his mateās growing independence to threaten him emotionally.ā

I just want to say I'm not a guy but I am autistic and the "autistic people are going to be more likely to have life experiences that push them into online echo chambers" bit is absolutely correct. Many of us have far better social outcomes in online spaces where things like tone and body language play less of a role in communication, and because of the nature of the internet this can cause a spiral of rejecting face to face interaction in favor of comfortable online echo chambers. To be clear, I think online hobbies are valid, I think having online friends is valid, but your entire life cannot be spent locked in a box filled with people trying to sell you things.

I'm a clinical mental health counselor who works with 16-24 year olds. And most if my male clients will at least reference the manosphere as a positive source of information. Some of my female clients are dating some of those same pro-manosphere guys and are in psychologically abusive relationships. They are property to be dominated and ran.

I can't wrap my head around how someone can claim being an "alpha male" while also being a dutiful follower of other men who tell them what kind of man they should be. I can't imagine anything more beta than that. I also love that they insist that there's no gender spectrum, but then went ahead and invented their own (alpha, beta, sigma, soy boy, etc etc).

A profesor at the University of Indiana once told me, āFathers are raising their sons for a world that no longer exists.ā That really got me thinking.
