And that's only the harm caused by radical feminism in the sphere of "dating."
See my post #318; there I enumerate all the many evils propagated by modern feminism. For me, modern feminism is merely a different aspect - a single manifestation, if you will - of the pathological mindset that has gotten a grip on Western civ.
And Tired of Taxes had the nerve to equate "radical feminism" with the "manosphere!"
With a hodgepodge of disgruntled ex-husbands who got reamed in divorce court; grifters marketing books and seminars on how to sweet-talk chicks into bed; incurable and low-testosterone incels; and a handful of guys who have given the matter a thorough, dispassionate examination, offer insightful analysis, and provide actionable advice.

SHe thinks the manosphere is the same as Andrew Tate, which it is not. It is a podcast giving men, who no longer have fathers who can teach them the realities of relationships, so they aren’t unnecessary victims of the dating scene.
The good ones do a really good job at opening the eyes of men to the OP’s of women.
Feminism is just another egalitarian fantasy completely dis-attached from nature and God.
It was borne out of urban, industrial, secular society, by academia, with no true underpinning in nature, God, or history.
Egalitarianism is a popular belief today. It feels good.
All races are equal. They are not.
The sexes are equal. They are not.
All religions are equal. They are not.
All sexual orientations are equal. They are not.
All cultures are equal. They are not.
...
Just another one.
I see you have traveled far down the 'manosphere' path to the point of no return, but I will respond once again.
>"And Tired of Taxes had the nerve to equate "radical feminism" with the "manosphere!"<
Both sides view themselves as victims - one of the 'patriarchy,' the other of a 'gynocentric culture.' Radical feminists believe men hold all the power, and the manosphere men believe women hold all the power. Radical feminists are women who hate men, and manosphere men are men who hate women. And, just like most men want nothing to do with women who hate men (radical feminists), most women want nothing to do with men who hate women (the manosphere).
>"Watch a thousand YouTube clips and TikToks"<
YouTube clips and TikToks are not real life.
>"Please watch a dozen or so of his [Mr. Samuels] shows and form your own opinion!"<
People are what they do - not what they say. No young man should be taking advice from the likes of Mr. Samuels.
But, I checked one of his videos where he was insulting people. Not my cup of tea.
>"You and I are in the same age cohort, and have a broadly similar life experience . . . so I can only assume that you are willfully turning a blind eye to all the signs that this woman is trash."<
My life experience included divorce, and people sometimes made the wrong assumptions about me. So, I try not to jump to conclusions about other people.
>"A man would have to be crazy to get anywhere near a tatted-up, self-entitled baby-mamma like that."<
She said nothing that sounded 'entitled' in that video. She also said nothing about the man's age, income, height, or weight. Maybe she dates single fathers.
As for tats, I myself never had one, but many other people do - including conservatives and other good people.
>"Women begin (dating) life on "easy mode." That warps their perception of reality as a whole."<
Statements like the one above show that men in the 'manosphere' do not understand women at all. TikTok is not real life. A woman in her teens and early 20s must fend off a lot of attention. But, not all of it is complimentary, and even the flattery can make her feel uneasy. Plus, many men of all ages - predators, players, married men, and so on - are up to no good. The unwanted attention does not lead to an inflated ego. Maybe the girls of TikTok enjoy the attention. But, in real life, many young women are embarrassed and annoyed by it. (It slows down but continues into their 30s and 40s, and it still happens sometimes in their 50s and later.)
>"Most men learn early in life that the only worth they have (to women; to society at large) is the value they accrue - through hard work, discipline, and patience."<
Women could say they're only valued for their looks. The men of my generation also expected their wives to work after bearing children, plus cook, clean, and everything else.
The reality is that many factors are at play for both men and women: appearance, personality, shared values, etc. Actually, proximity is a major factor.
But, yes, a man should do his best to provide for his family when his wife bears his children.
Young men should get offline, go out in the real world, and open their eyes. Real life is not what they see online.
