I've been rummaging around through reddit/google statistics today to try to pin down the growth of things like MGTOW, Red/Blue pill, and Men's rights. The results are interesting, but not surprising. The general trends of subreddits indicate that #MeToo and #Time'sUp have promoted the most growth of these types of subreddits, and the 2016 presidential election led to a temporary shrinkage, particularly in December of 2015. Search queries on google were not noticeably affected by #MeToo and #Time'sUp. I've also found that in terms of search results, the most feminist countries (Finland, USA, Australia, etc.) have the highest likelihood to pursue these search terms.

Note: Reddit stats begin in late 2012 and end in early March 2018, Google stats begin in Jan 1st 2004 and continue to the present day.

​

Men's rights:

As a search topic Men's Rights hasn't changed much in terms of popularity. The 8 countries where the search term is most popular are, from most popular to least: Finland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, The USA, Ireland, Sweden, Norway.

r/MensRights has been growing at a nearly linear rate since 2013, gaining roughly 20k subscribers each year.

​

Red Pill Ideology:

As a search topic Red/Blue pill ideology has seen a substantial increase in search queries, with the trend line being an upwards curve. This topic is more popular as a search term, and thus the list of notable countries is longer. However, for consistency, I will only list the top 8. The top 8 in order are: The USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland, Singapore, The UK.

r/TheRedPill went from 500 to 30,000 subs during 2013 and went from 30,000 to 90,000 during 2014. 2015-2017 averaging at about 50k new subscribers per year. 2017 was their largest year of growth since 2014, seeing in 60k subscribers.

r/RedPillWomen has seen a steady growth of 3k subscribers per year, with 2017 seeing in 5.5k subscribers.

​

MGTOW:

As a search topic, MGTOW has seen a marked growth in interest that I would classify as exponential. While not as popular of a topic as The Red Pill, MGTOW has seen a much more drastic growth period in the last few years. The top 8 countries are: Canada, Australia, Finland, The USA, New Zealand, Ireland, Estonia, Slovenia.

r/MGTOW has seen exponential growth as well. It's the only subreddit of the three I looked at where the subscriber growth consistently increases at a noticeable rate. The subscriber count of r/MGTOW has at minimum *doubled* every year since 2013.

​

Hypergamy (google only):

For those of you unfamilliar with the term, Wikipedia defines hypergamy as "a term used in social science for the act or practice of a woman marrying a man of higher caste or social status than themselves." A more common phrase for it is "marrying up." As a topic, the interest in hypergamy has been seeing a rise similar to Red/Blue Pill. The top 8 countries are: Sweden, Canada, Australia, Singapore, The USA, New Zealand, Ireland, Finland.

​

From the data I've seen so far it's reasonable to say that statistically, Feminism actively drives men away. This is evidenced by the fact that the more feminist a country is, the more interested the citizens of a country are to look for anti-feminist media. This is by no means a formal study, but I find it quite interesting. Thoughts?
