A growing network of online communities known collectively as the “manosphere” is emerging as a serious threat to gender equality, as toxic digital spaces increasingly influence real-world attitudes, behaviours, and policies, the UN agency dedicated to ending gender discrimination has warned.

    To paraphrase Jon Lovett, they have “back of the classroom energy” while the left has “front of the classroom energy”.

    “Teacher teacher, he said something some people might find offensive! Send him to the principal’s office”

    “Thanks for narcing me out, r****d”

    “Teacher teacher, he just said the r-word!”

    The left just isn’t equipped to deal with the manosphere. Everything the left does just makes the manosphere seem even more cool to the kids.

    “The UN is worried about these guys, they must be really badass!”

      Wat?

      The manosphere is literally a bunch of losers that can’t get laid and are making excuses for it.

      Work out. Have a career. Don’t be a asshole. Do that and you can get laid but that’s too hard for some folks.
