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?

In the manosphere you find concern about the fact that fathers are less likely to get custody over children after a divorce than mothers.

How courts think about giving custody to parents is obviously about how society does things, so people in the manosphere do see societal effects.

In a world where both genders engage in domestic violence feminists usually see domestic violence in a way where woman who are victims of domestic violence need support while there little thought payed to male victims.

There are many cases where the manosphere criticises society for treating males unfairly.
