That "Inside the Manosphere" documentary on Netflix
Trying to counter the pagan, hedonistic "manosphere" with feminism will fail.
There was a key moment in the "Inside The Manosphere" documentary on Netflix, and I do not think Louis Theroux realizes just how important it is: How many of the pagan, hedonistic "manosphere" guys grew up without a father. Lacking an important masculine influence, they are chasing masculinity through conquest of multiple women and material wealth. They crave the adulation of other men who see them as having the key to break free of "The Matrix." The hyper-masculinity of the pagan "manosphere" is a pale imitation of the genuine masculinity that eludes these "influencers."
There is a lot of "spicy" content in the documentary, so I would not watch it with children present. Discretion is strongly advised. You could listen to the audio via Bluetooth headphones, streaming it on a phone or tablet while doing something else.
Originally a backlash against feminism, the pagan "manosphere" embraces a ton of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. "The Jews" run everything and we need to take back control from them. Men are oppressed not be feminism, but by Jews. I have always thought that it was absurd that 0.2% of the global population somehow runs the world. Two tenths of one percent of all people control everything? Really? According to these conspiracy theorists, Jews must be the smartest, most omni-competent people who have ever existed. They are superhumans! But what does that say about how weak and pathetic the 99.8% of the world is, to be dominated by such a tiny group of people?
Watching this movie made it clearer to me than ever that the answer to the pagan "manosphere" is not and cannot be feminism. The answer is Biblical masculinity. Teach men to love and be faithful to their wives, reject materialism, and serve God. Teach men that the essence of masculinity is responsibility. Trying to counter the pagan, hedonistic "manosphere" with feminism will fail. You have to present an alternative that is attractive, and feminism or "wokeism" will never be attractive to these men. This is a ripe mission field for the Church.
