Theo James on the manosphere: “It’s a lot about deep seated insecurity. It’s about them not feeling good enough, but it’s hidden with meaningless bravado. […] I think the misogyny comes from lots of successful, strong women around them. They don’t know how to deal with that.”

    He seems like he’s got a good head on his shoulders, he was also volunteering in refugee camps for Palestinian children.

    A lot of this shit can be curbed with parents actually caring for and paying attention to their kids. Watch their social media, talk to them, listen to them, help them navigate life and give them support for their struggles. Parents need to teach their kids rights and wrongs.

    He says he’s scared for his son but if he can have conversations like this one with his kid, he’ll have a smarter, kinder son, who would be less inclined to follow his idiot friends into these spaces and thoughts.

    There are a lot of us guys out here that echo the same sentiment and revulsion to what’s going on in the minds of these “alpha males”.

    Unrelated when’s that George Michael movie happening?! He’s looks like his kid or something lol

    Like the way he sums it up – easy wins, the simplest (and easily most visible, and therefore identifying) parts of what is actually quite a complex worldview – because of all the required mental gymnastics.

    Honestly I feel a bit sorry for the kids who never saw the pre-Bait Age internet, when it seemed like it was still possible to parse out objective information from all the slop.

    Modern Fascism’s new technique of attacking the very foundation of the existing historicity of established fact is terrifyingly effective – they’ve undermined progress by being so ignorant of its history that they can literally say whatever, and as long as it’s emotionally resonant, and chuds will absolutely eat it up and ask for more.

    Even when it’s blatant hypocrisy or lies – as long as it *feels* right, they take it as fact and push forward.

  7. I really appreciate when a man speaks up against the manosphere. More men should do it (especially those with big platforms), because they sure as hell won’t listen to us “females”

    Tab this man as the next James Bond — this is how a *real* man should carry himself.

    White lotus was so remarkable for its social commentary alone. So proud to hear such an informed perspective from one of the male cast ❤️

  10. Society needs to redefine success more accurately because we have tightened the pinhole around what makes someone successful to the point that excessive greed and more money than anyone could spend in a lifetime is the only way to be valuable

    Alot of manosphere ideology you can honestly trace back to fathers not teaching their sons what “masculinity”,

    If you ask these guys what they think masculinity is, it’ll boil down to “Doing whatever you want with zero consequences” It’s nothing but a caricature.

    The fact that young men just cant handle successful women around them blows my mind. Like why does it matter if the person having success around you is male or female. If anything it should make them more attractive. Being the bread winner is super stressful let your woman handle that if she wants to.

  13. Keep speaking out against these manosphere bums. Make them cry. They are all deeply insecure losers projecting their failures onto others. Real “alpha males” don’t need to fake their way through life like these guys.

    I wouldn’t care what they do if they weren’t influencing thousands of other young men. Once guys like Clavicular make a career out of it, they are open targets.

    I’ve seen it explained probably better than i will try now but we have moved on from a system where a man’s mate is entirely economically dependent on them and many men are not psychologically equipped for that reality. Nor are they prepared to let go of gender-based expectations. The material basis for a patriarchy has been more or less destroyed but not its place in the cultural imagination, and it’s driving the worst people insane.

    I think a lot of it comes from insecurities & struggles with women, & the added fact that men don’t have a safe space to talk about those problems so they end up living with the problem as opposed to dealing with it.
