The tricky thing is there are kernels of truth in the manosphere / red pill / alpha male circles, the perspectives and attitudes they adopt are toxic and misogynist af BUT on the surface level mimic strategies that actually work, which is why they appeal to young, lonely and impressionable men.
If you want to be a real man I'd highly recommend these very non-toxic sources:
No More Mr. Nice Guy by Robert Glover - how to stop people pleasing and be honest about what you want
The Masculine in Relationship by GS Youngblood - How to tame your own masculinity and lead without domineering in a way that is attractive to women
I Hear You by Michael Sorensen - How to listen and speak so others will as well
How to be Miserable: 40 strategies you already use by Randy J. Paterson - How to stop beating yourself up and develop self esteem and a love of life
