I was reading Athlone McGinnis' excellent article Society Can't Afford The Educated Women and some occurred to me.
The Manosphere will need to take a new step if it wishes to contribute to a widespread major change in society.
ROK is going to be much more likely to appeal to a man who has already swallowed the red pill than one who has not. Some goes for Roissy, Dalrock and virtually all Manosphere bloggers. The one thing that these platforms all have in common is that they offer social commentary.
The next step will be to move past simply commentating on the current state of affairs from our fringe soap boxes to establishing mainstream institutions that positively influence society.
Here's an example of how this could be done:
HuffPo is a Internet only new aggregation source that also features blogs. It has 200+ employees, but publishes in five languages other than English.
What if some smart guys from the Manosphere got together and adopted this business model for their own purposes?
The goal wouldn't be to preach Manosphere values. It would be, rather, to offer an alternative to the media outlets that do exist.
If about 200 people collectively publish HuffPo, I'm thinking that 50 could put out a single English edition online newspaper targeting men who aren't idiots.
I'd guess that 10 people could probably write all the general news coming off the wire. None of that is rocket science. You'd need about 10 commentary columnists who wouldn't just focus on typical manosphere themes, but also apply red pill perspective to a host of issues. 10 people to sell advertisement. 10 editors to keep things up to snuff and 10 dedicated journalists to investigate specific stories, where more information is needed than just what comes off the wire service (or is based on reports from competing sources).
-------------------------
Do you guys think that RVF would have the talent base to create this monster? (I believe that we do).
Would we be able to find enough volunteers to get it off the ground without having to invest a lot of money into it up front to pay employees?
Is it even feasible? Anyone with publishing experience wanna weigh in?
Is the Daily Mail already doing a good enough job or is there a hole in the market for this?
