- 2014, Alex Peck, Average Married Dad's Guide to Health, Wealth, and a Sexy Marriage, page 84:
- The Manosphere essentially is the counterpoint to the feminist doctrine (that empowers women at the expense of men). It is a free form community consisting primarily of men on the internet sharing experiences and thoughts with the intention of educating, empowering and improving the state of men and boys.
- 2018, Alex Hern, Who are the 'incels' and how do they relate to Toronto van attack?, The Guardian:
- Incel is short for “involuntarily celibate”. The term rose to prominence because of its adoption by a subsection of the “manosphere”, a loose collection of movements united by misogyny that also includes some men’s rights activists, pick-up artists, and Mgtow/volcel – heterosexual men who refuse to have sex with women for political reasons.
- 2020, Laura Bates, Men Who Hate Women: From Incels to Pickup Artists, the Truth about Extreme Misogyny and how it Affects Us All:
- The foundational tenet of taking the red pill is at the root of almost all the major manosphere groups we will look at in this book, including pickup artists, so-called Men's Rights Activists, and Men Going Their Own Way.
