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’m referring to lemmings, most of whom wouldn’t care. Did Jesus exist? I think he probably did but I honestly don’t care because the impact would be identical either way. It will never be proven either way so dropping into threads just to redirect the conversation to atheism will always just be dumb and annoying

      What an insufferable way to be.

      Well, it’s more just not the appropriate place and kind of missed the point entirely.

      No one honestly cares either way

      Unfortunately this is very much not the case and that’s a big chunk of the problem. There’s groups out there that really really care (one way or another) and are more than happy to murder you and anyone else who doesn’t all while telling themselves what great people they are.

        I’m sure you would’ve also been defending someone if they dropped into the thread just to remind us that Jesus is always watching us

          No I wouldn’t have, it still would have been entirely off topic (and off topic for like 99% of the content on here). Just because one guy is being a moron doesn’t mean you have to act like a moron as well. I didn’t downvote your last comment because you weren’t entirely wrong, but this one definitely is. A simple “Not the point” to the original guy would have been a far more appropriate response.

            People need to know that no one likes their shitty obnoxious atheism redirections. Be mad about it I guess.

                Lol I’m a Christian now! Because you’re so simple minded and in fifth grade that you think not only is atheism interesting to talk about, but also that anyone bored or annoyed by bringing it up is a fucking Christian! Lmao

                  Did Jesus exist? I think he probably did

                  So there’s that, and you also seem really angry that athiests exist, plus this whole thing started because you got mad that someone said Jesus was a made up story. That certainly seems like something a Christian would do, although I suppose muslim is also a possibility. As far as I know they also believe in Jesus, they just also believe in a second guy as well.

                  While some guy named Jesus might have existed, and might even have tried to start a religion, it’s rather trivially demonstrable that the overwhelming majority of acts attributed to him are at best gross exaggerations if not outright fabrications, so in that sense yes he’s just a story. It still wasn’t really relevant to the original topic though.
