Feminism is a broad and evolving social, political, and philosophical movement based on the belief that individuals of all genders should have equal rights, opportunities, and freedom from discrimination. At its core, feminism aims to challenge and dismantle systems of patriarchy, structures that have historically favoured men, particularly white, heterosexual, and cisgender men, while advocating for justice, equity, and autonomy for women and marginalised genders.

The manosphere is a loosely connected yet profoundly influential digital ecosystem that offers men a prescriptive worldview on gender, sex, and social worth. Encompassing dating coaches, fitness influencers, incels, and self-proclaimed alpha males, its core message is unmistakable: modern masculinity is under threat, and salvation lies in dominance, control, and relentless self-optimisation.
