Abstract

Historically, white men rarely questioned their masculinity, which enjoyed privileged invisibility. However, contemporary identity politics increasingly scrutinize masculinity, leading to conflicting reactions. Men feel targeted and demonized, yet also perceive invisibility as a disadvantage in a diverse, visibility-focused society. The rise of the manosphere reflects men's attempts to negotiate their identity within this politicized landscape. Through figures like the nice guy, men resist feminist politicization of masculinity while grappling with being both invisible victims and vilified embodiments of the status quo.
