The Late Show with Stephen Colbert reports on the Manosphere:
That “nobody else is (or every will be) better than me” attitude makes me wonder - are they training their kids to have a twisted sense of nostalgia about them? It makes me wish they’d watch this video from Belle on a loop until the message sinks in:

Honestly, it would be better for everyone if these guys were all deeply closeted homosexuals or asexuals. But instead, they’re heterosexuals who don’t actually like women, who see women as (at best) a necessary evil for having sex and having a family. They’ve been raised and conditioned to hate, fear and despise femininity, and as a result they are cripplingly insecure, unhappy with actual real living women, and even more unhappy without them.

Hard to love someone who is angry about loving you because they hate your existence and resent attachment to it.
Generally dysfunctional attachment styles make for bad relationships.
Of course the manosphere needs dysfunctional attachment to make money…
