Językowy obraz kobiety w dyskursach polskiej manosfery
The linguistic picture of woman in the discourses of the Polish manosphere

Summary/Abstract: The study aims to reconstruct the linguistic picture of woman in the discourses of the Polish manosphere, understood as a network of websites dedicated to men’s issues and perspectives (particularly those concerning women). Within this sphere, various communities operate, including supporters of the red pill ideology, incels, MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way), and pickup artists. Four linguistic profiles of the concept of woman are identified, representing four different dimensions through which woman is perceived: axiological, sexual, intellectual-characterological, and social. Each dimension offers a distinct perspective on woman – always from the male point of view – highlighting different aspects of her image. The characteristics of women found on manosphere websites are replete with harmful stereotypes, hate speech, and, at times, even dangerous speech – namely, direct incitements to aggressive action.
