"Progressives are not going to win these young men over with a better program for getting laid, because they are not primarily motivated by getting laid."

"The manosphere is not a self-help network for guys who have trouble dating; it is not intended as a self-help network for guys who have trouble dating, and the men who participate in it are in fact aware that it is not meant to help them date. They are there to learn from each other how to be men by degrading women and other (queer, disabled, neurodivergent, fat, etc.) men."

"The manosphere is well named, and its relentless focus on status is not some sort of mistake or accident. Guys who fall into the manosphere or who find it validating and exciting are not in fact interested in having sex with women or in dating women—except as it relates to impressing other men or demonstrating status to other men."

"Everyone is out for themselves in the jungle. It has no social conscience. It is as self-concerned as it is self-involved.

Obviously, this is appalling. But more importantly, it is false. It is a lie. And because it is a lie, it will not actually get men what they want. It will not make them more desirable, in fact quite the opposite. It'll turn them into resentful, pathological crybaby freaks."
