So in my last post I talked about a shocking whitewash of the manosphere from the official UK communications regulator Ofcom. The agency’s new report suggested that the dangers of the manosphere were vastly overrated, drastically downplayed the misogyny central to every manosphere subgroup, and informed its readers that many of the denizens of this poor maligned movement were actually upstanding young men with “a strong commitment to equal treatment and fairness.”

Last week, the Guardian ran a surprisingly uncritical article on a new UK government report on the manosphere, which was itself surprisingly uncritical. The report, put forth by the UK’s official communications regulator Ofcom, claims, among other things, that its new research “challenge[s] the assumptions about the experiences and perceptions of individuals consuming manosphere content” and that many of these poor maligned fellows actually have “a strong commitment to equal treatment and fairness,” which is a sentiment I’ve never encountered in the manosphere after 15 years of immersing myself in its shit.

The New York Times seems to think that it’s discovered the female equivalent of the manosphere–the womanosphere, if you will–and it’s been sitting under our noses the whole time. In a recent NYT article, Jessica Testa chronicles Dear Media, a podcast-based media empire behind 100 shows aimed at women.
