I would say that by now the manosphere is substantially more complicated than your brief sketch, and has differentiated into various strains. An important strain are those who fight for men's human rights, as currently men are second-class citizens in regards to various dimensions (in many industrialised countries), such as: (1) men get punished harder for the same crime in comparison with women, (2) men dying several years earlier than women, (3) men commit suicide substantially more often than women, (4) male pension age is higher than female pension age (e.g. in the UK), (6) men working more than women, many more work-place deaths for men than for women, (7) paternity rights for men, (8) alimony and divorce rights is highly skewed against men, (9) sexual violence are men is trivialised and rarely persecuted, (10) false accusations of sexual and domistic violence against men
is trivialised and rarely persecuted, (11) homelessness is mostly a male phenomenon.
The question of the pros and cons of traditional gender norms is a controversial, but insignificant in comparison to the aforementioned questions of justice and human rights.
- jasonfree 13y agoYes, you are correct. You have described the Men's Rights Activist (MRA) part of the Manosphere. There are also the PUA and MGTOW parts of the sphere. PUAs tend to be younger men who recognize that women enjoy sex as much as men, and (contrary to pervasive indoctrination) women are attracted to social status and natural masculinity. MGTOWs (Men Going Their Own Way) have decided to avoid the snares of male-female relationships in the West by "going Galt." MGTOWs avoid marriage in order to avoid potential loss of income, assets, children, and freedom via frivorce (frivolous divorce) and divorce theft (the rapacious stripping of a man's life, encouraged and enabled by the divorce industry). MGTOWs also avoid live-in relationships.
