Double standard and mental gtmnastics.

You want to let the vitriol of the manosphere slide, but you can't or won't ignore vitriolic rhetoric when it comes from women. Feminist or not. That's a double standard.

You can't on the one hand be oan how young men have no role models and how they're being lost to Influencer bullshit, bless their innocent little hearts, and on the other suggest ignoring these charlatans is the correct course of action.

Ignoring them gave a safe place to grow l, validation via echo chamber, and legitimacy as the internet and social media realized there was money to be made and started actively promoting the content. Once that happened, there IS no choice but to counter it with the same energy and more.

Or lose more than you think you will. You'll lose entire generations. You'll lose the public social Commons. You'll lose security and basic trust. You'll lose social cohesion.
