Nuking The Manosphere

while simultaneously lauding women of Western Europe

Never seen this. Probably meant Eastern Europe.

The best way to neutralize a threat is to stop feeding it. You starve it. This means instead of scratching your itchy blogger finger by producing a less-than-stirring post about the cracks in the veneer of feminism (...)

The manosphere is not about destroying feminism, I don't know how he got that idea. There's nothing we can do about feminism, we just have to live with it. Our goal is to inform fellow men about the state of society and how to adapt to it. That's why talk about feminism.

In the end, you’re a grown ass man sitting behind a computer, tasked with helping other men get better. Instead you’re spewing toxins.

I get it, that article is satire. Surely he would have noticed the irony if he was serious.

First, a small correction.

If I affiliate as Republican, over time I will come to be pro-guns, pro-abortion, pro-war, and so on.

You must mean pro-life, because if you think most Republicans are pro-abortion then you don't know very many Republicans.

Now, every movement needs its beginning, and whether we call this anti-feminism or pro-masculinity I do not care. There have been a number of lone voices in the wilderness calling bullshit on feminism, but never a chorus.

An outgrowth of writing with the intent of voicing dissent against feminism will no doubt contain anger. All rhetoric decrying the injustices of corrupted political movements contains anger. Both the writers and the readers need to give their emotions a moment in the sun. It's part of the process, and expressions of anger are not, in and of themselves, automatically a bad thing. Should you find instances of calls to violent action or threats to individual safety then they should rightly be called out and dealt with. But reminding men overall that we need to calm down over this whole feminism thing? Bullshit.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with your point that ignoring feminism will make it go away. Feminism has permeated nearly every aspect of Western society. Even the economic systems we debate over have parallels to the sexes. Were feminism just about "women going their own way" that would be one thing. Freedom to do your own thing is ingrained in western society. Instead what we have is women going their way and the expectation that men will come along whether we like it or not. The hijack of our language, the abdication of reason to emotion, and the weakening of male identity are all used to further the causes of Feminism. Then there is the forced resource reallocation. To say that we should settle down and let this sort itself out is woefully ignorant.

As humans we have had to wade through a deluge of thought since the invention of the printing press. Pro-men, pro masculinity blogs will have good content and will have tripe. TRP will have useful participation and worthless circle-jerking. But to say that something that clearly has merit "needs to be nuked" because it contains imperfection is fallacious at best, and trolling at worst.
