> without taking up rabid misogyny.

I've read many posts on /r/braincels and didn't see any misogyny. Just lots of depressed men who will vehemently reject any notion that they can improve their situation. From what I observed their hatred was either self directed or used to attack straw men caricatures of people trying to offer advice. They seem to be just depressed, frustrated people who cannot get into relationships and hang out and lick their wounds with juvenile defense mechanisms.
