Feminism is what you get when you assume that all gender differences are due to society. The manosphere/"red pill"/whatever is what you get when you assume that all gender differences are due to biology. Normal-reasonable-person-ism is what you get when you take into account the fact that we're not sure yet.

Does this theory (or parts of it) seem true to you?

It does seem that feminism requires the additional assumption that gender differences are bad, and manosphereness that they are good.

More than "good" in a moral sense, maybe just "useful" or immutable.
