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.

    I’m literally fucking gaslight by being told I don’t have ADHD, told my stomach issues are just because I eat fast, planning is stupid and other incredibly dumb shit. I have to listen to an anti-waxxer father talk shit for over an hour.

    What does that have to do with your gender? These are problems we all go through because our healthcare system is failing because they put profits before people.

    I had to watch friends sprout sigma shit, called a woman I brought into the server “the huzz”, and called me a fucking pussy. Actually, I don’t have to deal with your bullshit either.

    Sounds like you have shitty sexist friends… Again I fail to see how that has anything to do with misandry. That’s toxic masculinity, not misandry. You aren’t being targeted because you are male, you are being targeted because your shithole friends don’t see you as male enough.
