Frankenstein and the Manosphere

Monstrosity and Victimhood

Known as the first true science fiction novel, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein never left its throne of cultural relevance. But recently, even more people fell in love with the story as the celebrated auteur, Guillermo del Toro, released his adaptation of the novel. The contextualization in this piece is important because del Toro's movie somewhat frees the audience from the novel's moral exercises, and the roles represented by the characters need to be assigned correctly if we are to live with the film's romanticism.

My latest Substack essay titled "Frankenstein and the Manosphere" is published now. Please click on the link to read.

According to books on sociology, men perceived women entering the job market in higher numbers as discrimination aimed at them because they thought that employers were unfairly biased towards women and right now we are finding that men like incels and all the precious gen zers are very much perceiving their own loss of privilege as discrimination as well! And this is stating that men's perceptions of discrimination here are not based on economic hardship at all.

This is more from personal observation, but I can’t help but be bugged when I see articles/hot takes talking about how gross guys blame others because they “refuse to improve themselves,”

Because, from what I can tell, that’s literally the whole guiding principle the majority of the manosphere cesspit runs on, the idea that they can’t get laid because they’re failures at masculinity.

So, like, what the fuck, I don’t understand, why the fuck would you parrot their own worldview by saying they didn’t Bootstraps their way into sex to rebut them? I genuinely don’t get it?!

Like, self-improvement is important and vital, but the idea that if you put enough points in the skill tree you’ll get laid seems like the exact same worldview as that “kindness coins = sex” mentality in that it de-emphasizes the agency of the other side and ignores that fact that; hey; maybe she’s not into you and it’s nobody’s fault.

Like, I’m fundamentally not understanding in the slightest how that’s supposed to be in any way a good rhetorical position to take against that toxic misogynistic bullcrap....
