Misogynistic chat rooms, bogus science, and rape myths: What actually happens in the manosphere?

A man’s world can change the second he opens his phone or laptop. “Women want to be raped by a high value man” is a thesis they might find explored on the popular Red Pill Reddit thread. Another post is titled “The mistake of needing permission to approach” and details how men should coerce women into being with them without their consent.

It could also change if he listens to the right podcast, like Fresh and Fit, hosted by Myron Gaines and Walter Weekes, which has shared YouTube clips titled “Why this generation of women makes terrible wives” and “Why women who have IG while having a man are bad GFs!”. It also once tweeted from its official account: “Why do women deserve less? Because simps, the government, and society as a whole pedastalizes women for having a vagina. Give them less so they respect you and give you more. Everyone else gives them more so you don’t have to.”
