Target the manosphere archetypes and they just become martyrs. Screaming for your rights as a woman unfortunately does little to convince those already too far gone. Ostracizing misogynists just leads to misogyny support groups that are self-reinforcing. That said, I believe in the power of shame.
It’s going to be hard and it’s going to take a long time. Respected men will have to take a visible stance, champion women’s voices, and promote compassion - even for people who suck. Kids need more spaces outside the internet to hang out, too, and those are slowly being erased since free third spaces don’t have a profit margin. Having diverse friends is a great way to learn compassion for diverse people, but equally important is recieving compassion from diverse people.
