Recently, a manosphere-adjacent account posted a video of a group of women dancing in the office with the caption, "Is this the longhouse?" For context, the video was filmed in an office in Australia for a women's skincare company. The woman at the beginning of the video is the founder of the company.

For those unfamiliar with the term "longhouse," it’s used by many far-right and redpill accounts to reference the perceived 'gynocentrism' of society. The term alludes to Neolithic Europe, which some scholars theorize was a matriarchy before the invasion of Indo-European tribes.

The video went viral on X (Twitter), sparking significant discourse over the past few days. People from various countries have weighed in with their opinions. Some thought the video was cringe and lame, while others found it cute. However, the most notable reactions came from some men who viewed it as emblematic of everything wrong with Western society today. The negative comments included advocating for the subjugation of women, expressing sympathy for the Taliban, and attacking women's roles in the workplace. There were also numerous attacks on the women's appearance and attractiveness.

Some critics argued that the video symbolizes the changing dynamics in the corporate world. With workplaces catering more to feminine sensibilities at the expense of men, while suggesting that if the genders were reversed, men wouldn't be allowed to behave similarly without facing repercussions.

Here are two tweets discussing this perspective: 1. Tweet by Wayne Burkett 2. Tweet by Mark Smith

There was also a common assumption that these women were part of HR (they are actually a marketing team), which added to the animosity they received.

What are your thoughts on this matter?
