US Men’s Liberation in the 1970s: Autopsy of a Movement
In the wake of the US feminist second-wave, a Men’s Liberation movement emerged as an ally to liberal feminism but soon fractured over its relationship to feminism, leading to the rise of the antifeminist Men’s Rights movement. Through analysis of primary sources, media accounts, academic sources, and an interview with the movement’s chief activist, this paper reviews the ideology of 1970s Men’s Liberation, as well as its demographics, key figure…
A hundred and two just-so stories: Exploring the Lay Evolutionary Hypotheses of the Manosphere
The manosphere is a collection of online antifeminist men’s groups whose ideologies often invoke Darwinian principles and evolutionary psychological research. In the present study, we reveal that the manosphere generates its own untested and speculative evolutionary hypotheses, or ‘just-so stories’, about men, women, and society. This is a unique phenomenon, where lay (i.e. non-expert) individuals creatively employ evolutionary reasoning to expla…
La manosphère anglophone: Tour d’horizon et revue de la littérature
Cet article a pour but de décrire la manosphère anglophone à travers les différentes communautés qui la composent. Au-delà des éléments historiques et idéologiques ainsi présentés, une revue transdisciplinaire de la littérature présentera l’état des recherches en sciences sociales sur la manosphère
I'll always be a subhuman, I just lost the genetic lottery: Subaltern Identity-building in Online Incel Discourse and Ideology
Incels, a unique Internet community of involuntary celibate men, have increasingly come under the spotlight since the mid-2010s. These heterosexual men are united by their lack of sexual and romantic experience, and their feeling of social inadequacy and isolation. They have developed a whole subculture, with its own idiom, labels, and theories, to make sense of their shared experience. By qualitatively analyzing a corpus of online incel discours…
The use and misuse of evolutionary psychology in online manosphere communities: The case of female mating strategies
While early evolutionary accounts of female sexuality insisted on coyness and monogamous tendencies, evidence from the field of primatology started challenging those assumptions in the 1970s. Decades later, there exist many competing and overlapping hypotheses stressing the potential fitness benefits of female short-term and extra-pair mating. Female mammals are now seen as enacting varied and flexible reproductive strategies. This is both a vict…
Navigating Grey Areas: Ethical Issues in Studying Online Antifeminist Communities
Internet research ethics is an intimidating field for a new researcher. Not only does it mobilize legal and ethical knowledge about data protection, but it also entails making case-by-case judgment calls in a shifting and yet uncodified domain. By detailing the specific ethical choices made in a study of online antifeminist communities, and discussing the rationale and debates behind them, this article aims at making this process easier for futur…
Marcel Barbu, l’archétype du « petit candidat »
La révision constitutionnelle de 1962 instaura l’élection du président de la République au suffrage universel direct. Afin de limiter les candidatures fantaisistes, un candidat devait réunir cent « lettres de présentation » signées par des élus pour pouvoir se présenter. Seulement six candidats furent donc retenus pour l’élection présidentielle de 1965, mais parmi ceux-ci, tous n’étaient pas représentants des grands partis ni même élus. Un inconn…
