What is the Manosphere?
The manosphere has successfully leveraged male pain points and digital spaces using strategic messaging that speaks to young men’s lived challenges. Amidst rapid macro-level social, political, and economic changes, young men are turning to the internet and finding community and belonging that speak to their unique identities, interests, and fears. The manosphere fills the messaging void for young men’s questions and insecurities, but has real-world impact offline in terms of violence against oneself and others, mental health, and anti-democratic trends.
The Manosphere, Rewired
When two-thirds of young men feel that “no one really knows” them, as State of American Men 2023 shows, they reveal the fragility of their connections and relationships. This “crisis of connection” collides with the reality that no one really seems to agree on what a “good man” looks like or how to become one. The combination of these two truths creates the perfect conditions for men to seek connection in the digital world via the manosphere – a diverse collection of websites, blogs, and online forums promoting masculinity, misogyny, and opposition to feminism – which swoops in to provide clear messages around gender and gender roles to make simple sense of an otherwise complicated world.
