        It’s not really semantics. The manosphere is a specific group of influencers, not men in general. It only seems like semantics if you don’t know what the manosphere actually is.

        A specific ring of misogynistic male influencers. Not men in general. If you generally struggle with nuance, maybe this example will help: all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. Same with the manosphere. All are men, but not all men are part of it.

          Let me rephrase it so you can better understand simple sentences.

          It’s not just the men/man/male influencers/manosphere, it’s the magasphere.

          I forget how people online need to have everything spelled out for them.

        A very specific subset of reactionary misogynists with public platforms.

        Why?

        Do you think it just means men?
