”The manosphere should not be seen as a mushroom that has sprung up out of nowhere,
To the contrary, the mushroom is the fruiting body of a mycelium, so it comes from somewhere.
I was certain they would blame the internet in the next sentence, I was pleasantly surprised: ““The manosphere,” Botto continues, “is an emanation of the current patriarchal order in which we live, the classist order, the racist order, the ableist order. They are all connected.”
I know it is hard to prove, but I think mainstream anti-social media is to blame for its growth. I remember when I used YouTube many years ago, it tried to push me into sexism, by constantly recommending sexist Manosphere trash. A friends Instagram is completely taken over by it. Even a relative, who almost 99% of the time gets cute cat videos on Instagram has 1% of vile racist shit on her recommendations.
Let’s remember that there are threat actors that would profit from these things becoming common.
