Real Big Men 0

At the Psychology Today website, Ross G. White explores the appeal of the “manosphere,” yet another “social” media construction that is polluting the polity and poisoning dis coarse discourse. A snippet; follow the link for the rest.

The manosphere is replete with claims about a “gynaecocracy” of women conspiring to disempower men, feminism deliberately emasculating boys, and women using relationships to benefit their socio-economic standing. I hasten to add that these claims are not supported by any reliable evidence.

Yet conspiracy theories can be psychologically attractive.
