This is what I don’t get about the manosphere movement.

Young guys watch these influencers being abrasive macho dorks, talking exactly like this. They somehow combine that “dorky, petty semantic minutia” argument style with being aggressively condescending and being a macho jerk, all at once. I’m a pretty isolated guy, yet it’s amazing how grating it is to me.

And men watching these influencers conclude that… other people will appreciate that?

Nah, they think other people should appreciate that. Because that would make their lives easier, not having to challenge their own privileges.
