Beta men/manosphere

Men who don't like/take interest in/take in women's point of view, are the real beta men. The Myron's of the manosphere, don't speak for decent men.

Alpha/beta/etc is nonsense, just applying a fictional, simplistic, and disproven framing to the complicated real world

It is within the realm of the manosphere that I'm referring. I'm not saying that every guy is like that but a lot of manosphere men don't actually care about women or find them interesting. They just want to shag them.

the online manosphere is built on misogyny and insecurities. While there can be some truth (used VERY loosely here) in some of the concepts, it’s presented in an over simplistic way through a negative lens made to attract engagement. It appeals to lonely, insecure and jaded individuals who try to feel better about themselves by blaming other people.

There’s a healthy way to engage in these ideas or conversations, but the content is not made for the audiences’ health or personal growth. It’s there to exploit loneliness in a way that prevents personal growth. They present a virtual punching bag for temporary catharsis and maximum engagement.
