‘Femcel’ influencers urge their followers to give up on gender equality and use men for financial gain – in the name of feminism

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.

    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.
