The Manosphere Sells Attention Not Masculinity
- George Hahn argues manosphere influencers sell a fake, performative masculinity built for attention, not virtue.
- He contrasts their misogyny and escalation with a simpler standard Scott Galloway offers: men should add surplus value and leave people better off.
Choose Service Over Attention
- Try using one test for manhood: add surplus value by giving more than you take.
- Absorb more complaints than you make, de-escalate conflict, and choose service over attention because service compounds across a lifetime.
The Manosphere Monetizes Male Isolation
- George Hahn says ideology is not the engine of the manosphere; grift is.
- Supplements, crypto courses, and trading schemes monetize boys' loneliness while offering community the left has failed to build for struggling young men.
