Hey, cool article topic!

I am fascinated by these communities of alt-right anti-feminists online and I often follow threads or watch videos analyzing and criticizing them. To me it almost feels like a joke, like these people can't really be serious but after reading your article, I realize that there are people who genuinely believe these ideologies who pose a danger to society.

I noticed that the link you added to the table on the main GRSJ 224 wiki page is "https://wiki.ubc.ca/GRSJ224/The_%E2%80%98Manosphere%E2%80%99_and_the_Alt-Right#Reclaiming_Traditional_Ideas_of_Masculinity", so when the reader clicks on it they are automatically taken to the heading "Reclaiming_Traditional_Ideas_of_Masculinity" and they might skip the introduction. You might want to change the link so that the link brings them to the top of the page instead. I think if you remove everything after the "#" that should do it.

Also, there are lots of terms in your article that might be confusing to someone unfamiliar with them, such as "uncucked", "MGTOW", "redpilled", etc. I think your article might benefit from a little section that provides short definitions of all the new terminology together in one place.

Hi,

I really like the topic you chose, I find it to be very relevant to contemporary times, but also because it seems to be an aspect of our society that we often overlook - we see feminism becoming more mainstream, but here we have people trying to fight back feminism, which we don't hear about very often. I'm just thinking that it might be a good idea to include how there are women opposing feminism and encouraging traditional values while being in a place of privilege as they have the choice to choose whether or not they adhere to traditional values.
