Summary

Donald Trump’s 2024 victory reflects growing discontent among a segment of men, especially in the “manosphere” that criticizes women and celebrates traditional gender roles.

Fueled by grievances over shifting social dynamics and economic insecurity, many men view Trump as an embodiment of “alpha male” values. Despite his policies favoring the wealthy, Trump has gained traction among both white and minority men.

His administration’s Project 2025 agenda includes restrictions on reproductive rights, aligning with “red-pilled” anti-feminist sentiments.

    Ok, but how many or what percentage of men like this need to exist for it to be a talking point? If it’s not generalized to a significant percentage, then it’s not a valid point to bring up in the first place.

      That’s just not true, like it or not, the manosphere has an impact beyond their population. Sorry you get triggered when people talk meanly about incels, but I assure you most people are aware that they don’t represent all men, despite how you feel about it.

        And yet these people want to blame it for the election loss. I think “the manosphere” has more impact on them as an easy scapegoat then it does on general voters in effecting elections.
