Backlash against women intensifies in ‘manosphere’ following US election: The Associated Press

In the wake of the recent US election, a troubling trend has emerged as members of the emboldened “manosphere” community have ramped up their threats and demeaning language towards women.

The ‘manosphere’ is a loosely connected online community made up of men who espouse extreme anti-feminist beliefs and promote toxic masculinity. These individuals often use social media platforms and online forums to spread their hateful rhetoric and target women with harassment and abuse.

Following the election, many members of the ‘manosphere’ have taken to social media to express their anger and frustration over the results. Some have gone so far as to make violent threats against women who they believe played a role in the outcome of the election.

This escalation in threatening behavior has left many women feeling unsafe and vulnerable, as they are forced to contend with a barrage of misogynistic insults and degrading language. In response, many women have taken to social media to share their experiences and call out the perpetrators of this hateful behavior.

Experts warn that the rise of the ‘manosphere’ poses a significant threat to women’s safety and well-being, and urge social media platforms to take action to combat this toxic online culture. In the meantime, women are encouraged to report any instances of harassment or abuse they encounter online and seek support from online communities and advocacy groups.

As the ‘manosphere’ continues to gain traction and influence, it is more important than ever for society to stand up against misogyny and support women in their fight for equality and respect. The voices of women must be heard and valued, and the threats and demeaning language of the ‘manosphere’ must be condemned and challenged at every turn.
