This is a place where you can come to vent if you lost a partner or other important man in your life to manosphere element of the alt-right. Examples of anti-feminist hate groups and individuals include but are not limited to:
The Red Pill
MGTOW
Various incel gathering grounds
Sex offender and human trafficker Andrew Tate
The podcast Fresh & Fit (and its comment sections!)
If you know of another toxic community or individual that belongs on the list, let us know.
The internet is filled with horror stories from relatives of people that have fallen prey to the enormous misinformation campaigns that are popular today. For instance, Qanon or the many pseudoscientific Facebook groups and podcasts. This support group focusses mainly on female victims of men caught up in the manosphere.
Many relationships have died as a result of the male partner’s involvement in anti-woman hate groups. They have turned abusive (or used it as an excuse to fuel existing abuse), unfaithful and entirely disrespectful to the women they claim to love. Besides that, there must also be mothers, sisters and (former) friends of men that now hold a toxic opinion of women. They are also welcome to post here.
Examples of misogynist hate groups and individuals include but are not limited to:
The Red Pill
Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW)
Various incel gathering grounds
Sex offender and human trafficker Andrew Tate
The podcast Fresh & Fit (and its comment sections!)
Pastor and radio host Jesse Lee Peterson
Those who identify as Pick Up Artists (PUA)
Former US President Donald Trump
A strong overlap exists between the manosphere and conspiracy theories in the age of the internet. This includes but is not limited to:
Qanon
The Joe Rogan experience
Alex Jones (Info Wars)
The antimask movement

Rules:
All the normal Reddit rules and no-nos about harassment, brigading, sourcing illegal goods, spamming and soliciting apply.
No bigotry and - must we really say it - misogyny is allowed here.
Be kind to each other. Assume ignorance over malice to a charitable degree, and report possible concern trolls and dogwhistlers to the mods.
Incels, Men’s Rights Activists and the Greek Alphabet people are not welcome. If you are a former and you think you have some insight you are free to post, but this subreddit is for female victims of the ideologies first.
Users may sometimes disagree that a media personality or group is hateful or misogynist. However, as this is not a debate sub, but a support group, we ask you to either move on or take it elsewhere besides this subreddit.
Mentioning politics or politicians is not necessarily against the rules of the subreddit, but if it turns into a debate or attracts trolls, a post or comment may be deleted.

Three amazing threads on Andrew Tate
If your redpilled boyfriend or husband was encouraging you to start webcam modeling, he was getting it from Andrew Tates sex trafficking course, the 'techniques' all meet the legal definition of fraud, force and coercion.

Not exactly a widow, but close to that space
I had a friend who had the potential of being a boyfriend until a few things were revealed which halted that. In physical space he came off as kinda shy and a bit awkward and really into anime, but when most of our time was spent together online I found out he had a particular interest in very busty women in his media, especially in video games and would get angry at the suggestion that game studios should cater to more than just his type of male gaze. I would explain that I'm not against sexy looks in media, but there's a time and place and combat is not the place for titties. I did try to remain friends with him for a while, hoping that if he had someone from the feminist side to interact with and not just a characature from Sargon of Akkad he could make a few realizations on his own. It became too tiresome for both of us so we've since lost contact, but I still think about him from time to time, and why he quit Warframe because it wasn't as horny as he originally thought.
Feels nice to get all that off my chest, even if there's a chance this post won't stay here.

Jargon, people, websites and groups that may indicate a descent into the manosphere
Hey everyone!
I thought it’d be a good idea to make a list of some terms and people that are less obviously alarming to a lay person. Almost everyone knows that the men mentioned in the sidebar are bad news, but often our Red Pilled men don’t start with the extreme end of the spectrum. The media they consume and mention to you does not always have anti-feminism as its main goal, but nevertheless perpetuates sexist ideas along with other nonsense.
Please let me know if you think of anything that belongs on this page. Every media personality that has expressed extreme misogynist views or endorsed misogynists as a part of their platform qualifies:
Gateway people:
Joe Rogan
Jordan Peterson
Richard Dawkins
Sam Harris
Christopher Hitchens
Ben Shapiro
Tucker Carlson

Words that should tip you off that someone has strayed into the misogynist alt-right. Not all of them are by itself anything bad, but in the right (wrong) context they can be:
Pussy pass
Obsessed with male custody rights, bonus points if it’s a 14 year old boy.
Talks about female on male rape disproportionately, never mentions male on male sexual assault
Not all men [are like that]
Men Too
AWALT (All Women Are Like That)
Alpha male, beta male, omega male
Alpha widow
Cock carousel
Beef curtains
Obsessed with “false” rape accusations
Ephebofilia
Looksmaxxing
Obsessed with personal fitness, especially judgmental towards other men who are not.
Femoid
Chad/Stacey
Hitting the wall/*Talks about women over a certain age (sometimes 23, sometimes 30 and sometimes another number), being “past her prime”

Again, I’m just one little person so I hope you will help me expand these watchlists.
Brigading and harassing any person on the lists is against Reddit’s rules and not something I condone. It will not help our cause.

does Ben Shapiro fit the mold for this sub? ugh.

My partner became a raging misogynist during my pregnancy
I was about 5 months pregnant when my partner became obsessed with the Fresh and Fit podcast. Within no time he had developed hateful ideas, like that women were inferior to men in almost every way, and that it was normal for men to have sex with other women when he was in a relationship.
Needless to say, this whole experience devastated me. I’m still left with questions. It makes me sick to my stomach how I spend the second half of my pregnancy begging to get a slice of decency from a man who had turned into an unrecognizable monster.
During that time I visited some subreddits about the altright and relatives of those who believed in the Qanon conspiracies, but I always wished there had been a subreddit or support group elsewhere for women like me. I’ve seen posts from women who lost boyfriends and husbands to the Red Pill ideology on r/qanoncasualties, r/exredpill, r/relationships and many other places.
My goal is now to create a safe space for women who are being abused by or who lost a relationship to the toxic clutches of the manosphere.
Let’s support each other.
