In my lifetime, most bigotries have been in decline. But misogyny is bad and getting worse. Those Reddit videos, as far as I can tell, are just feeding some desire that some dudes have to hit women. That shit didn’t come from a few posters, it didn’t even come from a few subs; but it made it to the frontpage almost every day.
Weak men are violent to women because they’re pitiful. The man who dreams of a woman to control has given up on the idea of a woman to love. And the idea that a woman could love him. When I was young, people like this were ashamed. Incel culture is like a pride parade for loosers and pussies.
There’s a book “Men who Hate Women”. I read it very cautiously, because even though I’m a feminist too many arguments seem to devolve into All Men=bad and this isn’t accurate or productive. It actually was a very well researched, well written book that is incredibly kind towards men and talks about how this culture harms boys and men and we as a society need to be aware of it and protect them before they get sucked into it. It talks about how the manosphere works and how the men leading the overall manosphere culture make millions of dollars telling boys and young men that women are evil and lesser creatures and deserve to be beaten and raped. It’s all about money; if a young man finds love and finds a woman he won’t need to keep going back to the manosphere, so he won’t be buying their courses, going to their boot camps, or interacting with their social media posts. It was written pre-Trump but it also lays a horrifying line that you can trace directly from incels to the rise of MAGA. Everyone should read it.
The Manosphere specifically gives advice meant to repel women, in order to keep men dependent on the manosphere. It’s why they unironically tell you to stop showering, so you can “win her over with your musk”
