Simon van Teutem argues the manosphere recognises many young men think they lack agency & so:
'the manosphere is a contest over who gets to define success for a generation of boys actively searching for an answer. Young men in a capitalist society understand perfectly well that they will pay the price if they have no answer to what success means & how to get there.'
Capitalism may have robbed them of agency, but patriarchy provides them with a convenient scapegoat: women!
