How long until the media shows some real bravery and gives attention to somebody advocating these sort of views who DOESN'T have a vagina? Women are perpetually the face of the men's rights movement so far, what a joke.
Virtually all the writers who write about masculinity for mainstream publications are female. But the reason for that is that it falls under the category of "gender issues," which has always been a predominantly female field.
That field, like politics itself, has a left-right divide. The news here is they've given the megaphone to someone on the right, Christina Hoff Summers. Usually it's only lefties like Hannah Rosin that get the soapbox in mainstream publications.
Other female writers who skew right include Wendy Schalit, Helen Smith, and Suzanne Venker.
So while it might seem odd that women are writing about some of the ideas pioneered in the manosphere, if you look at who is in this field historically it makes sense.
To change this, men would need a writer to do for "gender issues" what Erin Andrews or someone like that did for sportscasting. The closest we're coming now is a comedian like Adam Carolla, whose book "In 50 Years We'll All Be Chicks" brought up some important issues. There is also Glenn Sacks, a very smart and articulate father's rights advocate who I interviewed for a mainstream venue (and got skewered by a feminist for even including him in an article).
The good news is that the influence of mainstream media is far, far less than it was even ten years ago. And book deals don't net you much money unless you're a big writer. So the manosphere, if it keeps going, may prove more influential in the end.
...that is, if the Democrats don't find a way to silence it by redefining it as hate speech with their
new study.
