Summary

The “femosphere,” a growing online space for women, mirrors the misogynistic “manosphere” with toxic ideologies, including anti-gender equality views and strategies to “conquer” men.

The term describes communities like Female Dating Strategy and “dark feminine” influencers who reject liberal feminism, advocating traditional gender roles as empowering.

“Femcel” influencers urge their followers to give up on gender equality and use men for financial gain – in the name of feminism.

Critics warn these spaces mix conservative and feminist ideas, creating “anti-feminist feminism” that appeals to those disillusioned with mainstream feminism.

While less linked to violence than the manosphere, researchers caution against its potential for radicalization and harm.

        I didn’t realize anyone still wants to have childish debates about religion. I guess I just forgot what 16 feels like.

            As if people would just magically be morally perfect if the impossible happened tomorrow: religion disappearing

              When was that argument even made lol.

              It would be nice tho if we didn’t have to fight against imaginary all powerful beings when trying to create a social contract of moral and ethical standards.
