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.

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.

BONUS- Lawyer explains why the Tate brothers might be liable for any woman who was victimized by the methods he taught.
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.
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.
First of all, thank you for making this sub, I feel insane when I explain to people what went down, they don't know HOW I could have fallen into such a trap and I also am confused too! I was doing really well before I met my (now ex) boyfriend, I was working a good job and had a good social life, good income, and a little place with my cousin. He was kinda a jerk at first, but I ignored it because I thought he was cool & confident. Ick. He mentioned liking Trump and Alex Jones, but again, I ignored it because I think of politics as entertainment, similar to judging someone for what TV show they like. COVID hit and things really hit the fan. Listening to really weird influencers... sneako, tate, jordan peterson, jessee lee peterson (does anyone know this guy? i swear i can't vent to anyone about this freak!!), dinesh d'souza or whatever... started making me listen to jesse lee's church where he basically tells you to ignore all thoughts... I lost my job during COVID and he started telling me it was good because men don't want their wives working full time, or at all. I eventually found a new job in a field i was really excited about, but one problem: they required the vax. I ended up getting it, because I wanted to work there so badly, and he was so stressed about it and honestly made my life hell because of that decision. Anytime I had a headache or anything it was WE NEED TO GET YOUR BLOOD CHECKED, IT'S THE JAB and just wouldn't shut up about athletes dropping dead!! Didn't take care of me AT ALL when I got the shot either... ugh such a jerk. Then my lease was up and he wanted me to move in his home, which is literally falling apart and has a bad cockroach issue and mold issues, dishwasher doesn't work, filled with old ass and dirty furniture, just overall a DUMP!! I was honestly flattered, but concerned about the filth... I tried to ask if he'd consider moving into my place instead, but he refused since it was an apartment and his was a HOUSE. I asked if we could find somewhere and pick it together since i'd be paying half the rent, again he said no, his cat shouldn't have to relocate and get used to a new place... I said okay and moved in. Got ringworm and fungal acne A LOT, got breathing problems. My nails got water damaged from washing dishes all day (he refused to get the dishwasher looked at by his landlord)... I was so miserable... anyways, he gets a new job installing security cameras, and it had a very unpredictable schedule. I spent all day working around his schedule and ensuring I had dinner ready for him when he got home. Around this time, it was NON-STOP bitching about california, gas prices, biden, the 'steal', the 'jab', racist shit, masks, traffic... non stop bitching. My internship ended and he comes home one day to say "they're sending me to north dakota!!! I'm leaving california!!" all excited. I said WHAT?! He explained they had work around the USA and asked if he wanted to travel. He said yes!! I had moved in and made his home a home as best I could... and here he was uprooting it!!! He starts interviewing tenants, asked if I wanted to live there with strangers or come with him... I was like well I'm only living here because of you so... no i don't want to be here with strangers!! Plus he was very into the "wives obey your husbands, wives follow your husbands" and I was starting to eat it up too! :( so I thought okay, i'll follow him... Left my car, my gym, my family and friends.. everything... he left his cat with the new tenants!! ugh! It started out fun, but eventually his work stopped paying for the hotels and it was coming out of our pocket. He encouraged me to cam to make money, and eventually was trying to ask if i would escort, but i said to just keep it at camming... Every dime I made went to him and the hotel rooms... he wanted a new xbox, and threw FITS when I made suggestions it wasn't a wise purchase, especially while traveling with so much stuff already... then guess what we get the xbox and he complains so much about how big and bulky it is!!! Eventually, I get a decent following camming and he sees im having fun doing it, and he decides to sit me down and says he's finally serious about making me his wife and that I'm not allowed to cam anymore. I was so pissed, I thought i was in 'wife-training' this whole time?? why just now?? I expressed concern about abandoning my only source of income, expressed i had credit bills piling up and how hotels were so expensive but he took it as i didn't care about his feelings and wasn't respecting my husbands wishes. I deleted the account, and decided to just let him pay for everything like he wants! that worked so well... NOT. We're in a fucking motel 6, eating peanut butter sandwiches, i'm alone all day because were in the middle of texas and the weather SUCKS he's got the only car... so not like i can walk and explore anything... shit even if i did get out i had NO MONEY.... it was so stressful you guys!!! on top of that he was MEAN!!!! I turned 31 and he was started to tell me I was in the 'danger zone'... told me i needed to have kids soon, told me that i don't contribute anything, i don't have a house, i don't have this or that, i'm not apart of any communities... i was like... I WAS!!! YOU TOOK ME AWAY FROM EVERYTHING!!! IM FUCKING ISOLATED IN A MOTEL 6!! we did this for 5 months when he promised me it would just be for 3!! he was warning me he was going to 'accidentally cum in me' soon... and I was SCARED SHITLESS. i got so so so depressed... couldn't get out of bed, crying all day, refused to listen to ANY of the YouTube he was sending me and he HATED that, hated my emotions too, told me he 'wasn't good with drama' and took me to my parents house... and here I am... 4 days later... smashed to pieces but I think I'm ready to get a job, and find a "beta male" who will respect me and treat me with kindness from day 1!!! Ladies, don't let your men isolate you, convince you you SHOULDN'T work (if it's your choice/works for your relationship, do you, but please don't let a partner make a career choice for you!!) don't take the alex jones vitamins like i did, don't 'follow' or 'obey' anyone who wouldn't meet you half way EVER, just DON'T BE LIKE ME :( :( :(
edit - just typos.
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.
