Oh boy. Ana Psychology saw the Netflix manosphere doc.
.https://youtu.be/dLpWdvbmViA?si=rhx2aDfwE5H5J-fE
The video is already off to a bad start. With Ana saying young boys need better male role models. Knowing Ana. Her definition of a "positive male role model" is just a traditional masculine man who also has feminist values. Therefore creating the same cycle that creates the manosphere in the first place.
6:02 I somewhat agree with Ana here. Certain audience hold their content creators to a higher standard. But then again most popular manosphere creators are still banned from all platforms though. So the red-pill nonsense for content creators don't work in a nutshell.
6:15 to 7:00. Leave it to Ana to downplay female privilege, strawman arguments about female privilege. She use the yacht argument on purpose, in oder to make the concept of female privilege seem like a ridiculous red-pill conspiracy theory.
Even calling female privilege objectification.
And when it comes to benevolent sexism. Hot take here. Im sorry, but benevolent sexism is just shooting yourself in the foot sexism. Because some women (NOT ALL) will still choose benevolent sexism, when it convenient. And they only get upset when things don't go their way. It's like a man wanting to be a leader so bad. But then he starts screaming how unfair it is that he has to deal with so much pressure that from being a leader.
8:20 to 10:00: Oh my goddddddddd, the manosphere is the result of young boys feeling pressure to adhere to rigid male gender roles. Ana is saying the opposite here. She is saying that young boys need male gender roles being forced on them via a form of "tough love''. So she wants to fight fire with fire here. And again Ana Psychology idea of "positive masculinity" is just traditional masculinity with a feminist gaze. This is the same Ana that thinks it's attractive when her husband walk on the sidewalk, just in case an accident happens. The same Ana that suggests lonely men would feel better if they sacrificed themselves to protect women.
10:18: to 11:18: Bullshit. Ana is pretty much saying that we should tell young boys to just pull themselves up by their bootstraps, but in a nice way
11:32 to 12:00: Using the "mothers as the struggling victims, and fathers as the demons who leave their children behind" narrative.
12:16: No Ana it's society telling young boys they arr worthless, not just fathers. My mom has call me worthless a lot of times.
Ana says what do these men consider misogyny, if they don't consider themselves misogynistic. The answer to that Ana. Is that they do consider themselves misogynistic. They just won't admit it due to social stigma. In a time period where bigotry is more accepted. bigots would bw proud to be bigots.
Ana goes to say that men have a bad understanding of feminism. She says feminists don't think all men are bad. Even though Ana also said that The Jeffrey Epstein situation isn't a billionaire issue, it's a issue with men. Right message, wrong messager I guessed.
At the end of the vid Ana tries to pretend like she actually cares about young women being viewed as role models. When in reality she is probably only saying this because it sounds nice.
In conclusion Ana is far too pro male gender roles and benevolent sexism for me to think this later half of the video is genuine.
Edit: Oh lord, another one.
