ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Manosphere

Okay, so imagine you're in a big playground with lots of boys and girls. But some of the boys kept saying that they're better than the girls, and they should always get to play first and make the rules. These boys started a club and called it "the manosphere." They think that being a man means you have to be tough, strong, and not show your emotions. They also believe that men are better than women at everything, and women should only serve men.

Some men in the manosphere don't like women who are smart, successful, or independent. They say that these women are "feminists" and are trying to take away men's power. They also talk a lot about how to meet and attract women. Some even say that women owe them sex just because they're men!

Now, it's important to know that not all boys in the playground are part of the manosphere. Many boys and girls believe in treating everyone equally, no matter their gender. They want to create a world where everyone has the same opportunities, and no one is judged by their gender.

So, in short, the manosphere is a group of boys and men who believe in outdated and harmful ideas about gender. We should always treat everyone with respect and kindness, no matter their gender.
