    Saying manosphere bs represents masculinity is like saying TERFs represent feminism.

    They’re minority extreme angles on a topic, to the point we give them different names so we know what’s being spoken about because they are not the baseline.

      That may be the case but it is not a rebuttal to my point.

      Those things have had an influence on the perception of masculinity. And yes, TERFs have had an influence on the perception of feminism. And simply saying they don’t count isn’t an effective way of countering that influence.
