Women of “The Manosphere”
A List of Brave Women Who Are Standing Up to Feminism
Last updated 1/3/2024
The “manosphere” is the term given to a broad range of male opposition to the lies, hate, and misandry of feminism. The term typically includes only men and men’s groups, including men’s rights activists (MRAs), Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), and fathers’ rights groups. The manosphere is also an anti MRA propaganda term meant to lump men’s rights activists with non-men’s rights groups like “incels” and pick-up-artists (PUAs).
What is not usually included as part of the manosphere is the increasing number of women and female-led organizations who are speaking out against the feminist-inspired hate that has proliferated worldwide over the past five decades.
This is a list of the many women who, by speaking out against feminist excess, can legitimately be considered an integral part of the manosphere.¹
Note that entries in block quotes indicate an individual article is available for the woman or woman-led group.
Special Mention: Former NOW President Karen DeCrow
Karen DeCrow, who served as president of the National Organization for Women from 1974 to 1977, was a recognized champion of women’s rights. As described in this article in The Atlantic, what is less well-known is that she was often also a men’s rights activist who was skeptical about many key aspects of latter-day feminism, including its focus on sexual violence and male abuse of women.
In a 1982 letter to the NY Times, DeCrow firmly established a clear-minded fairness to men:
“The courts have properly determined that a man should neither be able to force a woman to have an abortion nor to prevent her from having one, should she so choose. Justice therefore dictates that if a woman makes a unilateral decision to bring pregnancy to term, and the biological father does not, and cannot, share in this decision, he should not be liable for 21 years of support. Or, put another way, autonomous women making independent decisions about their lives should not expect men to finance their choice.”
As a woman who felt that “men and women are far more alike than different” and who contested the hateful direction in which she found feminism heading, Karen DeCrow deserves a special mention in “Women of the Manosphere”.
Anti-Feminism Groups / Organizations
· Honey Badgers and the Honey Badger Brigade: A honey badger is a woman who publicly supports the men’s rights movement, often in opposition to feminism. Female supporters are among the most prominent men’s rights activists and provide breadth and legitimacy to the movement, as men are often vilified when they object to feminist hatred of men. The Honey Badger Brigade is an organized group of honey badgers, a female-led organization founded in 2013. [Individual article]

· Advocates For the Falsely Accused: formerly Women Against False Accusations, a group of women who began raising awareness of the all too common issue of false accusations against men. AFFA still advocates for men who are falsely accused of sex crimes, and maintains an affiliated YouTube channel.

Reactionary Feminists
“Reactionary Feminism” is a term coined by British writer Mary Harrington in a 2021 article, Reactionary Feminism, that challenged many of feminism’s basic tenets, in particular the feminist assertion that “gender is a cultural construct”, i.e. that differences between the sexes are a result of “patriarchal indoctrination”.
Reactionary feminism views men and women as equal in dignity and capacity for excellence but as physiologically different, and that there are certain universal, innate, biologically-based features of gender that are at the root of many of the group differences observed in the behavior of men and women. Harrington summarized it nicely: “Realizing my body isn’t something I’m in but something I am is the heart of the case for reactionary feminism.”
Here are a few of the leading reactionary feminists:
· Mary Harrington: author of book Feminism against Progress, and publisher of Substack newsletter Reactionary Feminist. In her 2021 article Harrington describes her reevaluation of her feminist worldview after marrying: “Whereas radical feminists tend to see patriarchy as akin to a mass conspiracy to oppress women, I’ve come to see it as the aggregate result of historical human efforts to balance the conflicting interests of the two sexes. It has sometimes given rise to abuses and injustices, which are rightly condemned. But the solution is not to be found in some state of perfect symmetry between the sexes. For this cannot be had—the sexes are not interchangeable.”
· Louise Perry: a journalist and author, Perry wrote the book The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, in which she argues that individual physical variation “is built upon a biological substrate. Liberal feminists and trans activists may do their best to deny this, but it is still true that only one half of the human race is capable of getting pregnant, and—failing the invention of artificial wombs—this will remain true indefinitely.”
· Nina Power: an English writer and philosopher, Power is a senior editor of and columnist for the online magazine Compact. In her book What Do Men Want? she argues “… for an understanding of historic features of relations between sexes and historic values and virtues to live better together and that there are some biological components to behavioural differences between men and women”
· Dr. Carrie Gress: wrote the book The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Has Destroyed Us, in which she “… punctures the myth of feminism, exposing its legacy of abuse, abandonment, and anarchy. From the serpent’s seduction of Eve to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to Kate Millett’s lust, violence, and insanity to Meghan Markle’s havoc-ridden rise to royalty, Gress presents a history as intriguing as the characters who lived it. The answers women most desperately need, she concludes, are to be found precisely where they are most afraid to look.”
Other Women Protesting Feminist-Inspired Abuses Against Sons, Fathers, Husbands
· Mothers of Sons: “…a group of ordinary women whose sons have faced extraordinary ordeals in our unjust, anti-male legal systems and workplaces.”
· Save Our Sons: A site dedicated to the families whose college sons have been falsely accused of sexual misconduct under draconian Title IX policies established by the U.S. Department of Education.
· Families Advocating for Campus Equality (FACE): “The mission of FACE is to support and advocate for equal treatment and due process for those affected by inequitable Title IX campus disciplinary processes, and influence campus culture through outreach and education.”
Wikipedia Category: Female critics of feminism
During my research I stumbled on a Wikipedia page that lists many female critics of feminism. Although my list somewhat overlaps the Wiki list, I provide it here for completeness. Note that I would never include some of these women as “Women of the Manosphere” due to some of their extreme political views.
For other articles about Women of the Manosphere.
FOOTNOTES:
¹ The determination of which women to include in this list was sometimes challenging. The original idea was to only include women who specifically described themselves as “anti-feminist” or “men’s rights activists”. However, as the work to compile the list of names advanced, it was decided that this original selection criteria was too narrow as it excluded women who, while not considering themselves “anti-feminist”, nevertheless were speaking out or writing about the dark and dishonest side of feminism. It was decided to use a single criterion for selection: “women who have spoken out against feminist lies and hatred”.
