Theres this quote I love from Brennan Lee Mulligan, quoting his professor:
"... people are not motivated by ideological codes. People are motivated by impulse and construct ideological codes to justify and rationalize what they were already going to do. An old professor of mine had this great thing. He said, āOn the level of individuals and civilizations, personality predates ideology.ā Meaning that before you were a fascist, you were a bully and an asshole".

As a young black man in my early twenties trying to figure out how to be a good traditional masculine man without a dad, i was completely sucked into the manosphere when covid hit back in 2020. After years of watching that content i used to be very prejudice of women because I believed the rhetoric that was being given to me by the creators in that space. It wasnāt until recently when i stoped watching the content and all of the rage bait and started to improve my social skills that I realized how much of a negative mindset i used to have. Iām so grateful that there are creators like F.D signifier who make these great video essays to explain just how much damage the manosphere is doing. Thank you mr. Signifier for your hard work šš¾

If there is ONE THING I have been able to be proud of myself for, itās that I NEVER got into the manosphere despite my depression, low self esteem and worsening mental health. I knew that, despite my suffering, to be arrogant and blame my suffering on others was a delusion. I found the problems from within.

It just occured to me the other day that creating insecurity in order to exploit people is a really fundamental form of evil in the human experience, and it has always had it's forms in all the past eras, and how many "traditional masculine roles" like soldiers and factory workers have also been forms of exploitation of insecurity - and the irony is that so many people think those roles are how things should be. Naah, you just got socialized into the idea, and are now suffering from a stockholm syndrome.

23 Year old lonely bitter dude here, got into the whole redpill and manosphere stuff when I was 19 because I was bitter that I wasnt desired by people. Only thing it made me was more bitter and depressed because I was everything the manosphere says women despise. Short, brown, funny accent, weird eyes, weird nose and a weird smile. Took me a while to get out of it but I did eventually. Still dont like myself BUT at least Im not as bitter as i was. It was your videos on the manosphere and some others that got me to start questioning it. Im just ranting at this point but your videos were great help to get me out of that weird circle
(Ps I'm Pakistani and English isn't my first language so I apologize if some parts don't make sense, trying my best)

25y/o, Iām AFAB, but my 49y/o MARRIED dad has been listening to and repeating a lot of manosphere stuff in recent years. This man has 3 daughters and a wife (plus my brother who has thankfully not fallen for this bs), and any time Iāve tried to push back on his rhetoric he just goes on about how I donāt understand and then he just walks away while Iām mid-sentence. He speaks to my mother like sheās a toddler. He says rude shit about my little brother for not being āmasculineā enough. He just sits at the kitchen table, drinking and watching ātriggered libs,ā Andrew Tate, and other misogynistic creators like JLP all day and ignores or condescends to us all day.
I truly feel like the manosphere (among other ideologies) has stolen my dad from us.

His salary buys less, but his pride begs him to say, āThe woman in my life doesn't have to work, and I like it that way.ā What he really may mean is that although his harem has only one occupant at a time, he does not want her wandering about too freely without the veil that the home provides. He is not nearly as secure in his masculine role as he would have others believe, and he allows his mateās growing independence to threaten him emotionally.ā

Five years ago I found out about my wifeās many infidelities throughout our fifteen year marriage. I was completely traumatized. I was working through my recovery and stumbled upon MGTOW content. It was really easy to fall into the trappings of those ideas because I was so hurt.
Fortunately my affair recovery program and therapists pushed back on these ideas and I didnāt stay in there too long so I empathize with men who fall into because itās very enticing when you feel so broken. When you feel like youāre not enough.
Today Iām much healthier and Iām grateful for content like this because it helps me from falling back into the trappings of manosphere ideas and rhetoric.
F.D, you are appreciated

As a short man with Aspergerās, I spent most of my twenties being depressed and bitter that I wasnāt desired by women. My brother often advised me to watch videos by pickup artists, etc. But I was never really interested in that stuff. Just seemed like a con to me.
Anyway, a few years ago I met a woman by chance through Instagram, after I started posting music vids. We texted back and forth and became friends and eventually started dating. I was 34 and honestly never expected that somebody would love me, but she really seemed to.
And whilst it boosted my self esteem for a short time, it didnāt completely heal me in the way I imagined a relationship would. I still struggled with depressed, and anger, and was still insecure about my masculinity. These battles are ongoing.
I suppose Iām saying to anybody who is struggling like I was, donāt count yourself out yet, new people can come into your life at any time, probably when youāre not expecting it.
And also, a relationship doesnāt fix you. I donāt really know what fixes a person, but I donāt think it comes from an external place.

Iām a lonely disabled 22yo, so I really appreciated the segment about disability and loneliness. As a disabled person, a lot of the time I feel like Iām not allowed to talk about my own loneliness, about my needs and desires for touch and intimacy as to not make everyone around me uncomfortable. Itās even harder (for me) as a straight disabled man because a lot of the discourse around disability and dating are typically dominated by people trying to date men (straight women and gay men), not saying their perspectives arenāt valid or useful, but having a disabled man talk about his experiences on trying to date women, just feels more relatable and validating to me. It just makes me feel less alone seeing someone as close to me as possible, struggling with the same things I am.
Iād be lying if I said that Iām still not a little frustrated with my loneliness, but I think making a video talking about my difficulties with self confidence and feeling deserving of love and reaching out to other disabled people on their experinces, would be a much better use of my time than sitting here bitter on my phone lol.
(Iām going blind in both my eyes btw, Retinitis Pigmentosa and ADHD)

I'm a clinical mental health counselor who works with 16-24 year olds. And most if my male clients will at least reference the manosphere as a positive source of information. Some of my female clients are dating some of those same pro-manosphere guys and are in psychologically abusive relationships. They are property to be dominated and ran.

A profesor at the University of Indiana once told me, āFathers are raising their sons for a world that no longer exists.ā That really got me thinking.
