“OnlyFans detected. Opinion rejected” (every jealous misogynist in the comment section). Firstly, there is nothing lamer than repeating someone else’s way overused joke. Secondly, does a woman cashing in on her physical assets make them a second class citizen? Of course not.
As a man, being a feminist is one of the manliest things you can do. It takes confidence to support equality without fear and to stand beside women rather than trying to outrun them. Real masculinity isn’t threatened by competition, it welcomes it. And while insecure men tear women down to feel bigger, secure men raise them up and still know their worth.
OnlyFans has flipped the traditionalist script on its head, and boy the patriarchy dinosaurs aren’t too happy about it. For centuries, women were expected to play by someone else’s rules. Now, instead of relying on old-school middlemen who decided what women could do, sell, wear or buy - many creators are now their own bosses, working from home - and making bank.
While it’s becoming a competitive field - the best OnlyFans creators call the shots on what they want to share, how often, and who to engage with. This level of autonomy and control is empowerment in its purest form.
And with over 170 million registered users on the platform, the numbers show it’s not just some niche or “simp” part of the net. Around 66% of OnlyFans users are men who spend on average $25 per month, mostly young guys aged 18 to 34.
Older men? Not so much. Many seem threatened by what they see as women “taking over” or “monetizing sexuality,” which is really just a classic case of misogyny disguised as moral outrage.
So why is OnlyFans so popular with young lads? Well, the pandemic years hit young people hard. When they should have been out experiencing the world, their relationships, and defining who they are - they were locked at home. Studies revealed an increase in loneliness, social anxiety, and isolation - making online platforms like OnlyFans, a key way to find connection, and even community.
Critics often bring up morality or claim the platform exploits creators. The reality? OnlyFans offers unprecedented opportunities like never before, for financial independence and creative freedom. Women are building businesses on their own terms, setting their own prices, choosing their content, and controlling their audiences. If the demand was as high for male creators to take a few shirtless pics - those critics would be caught out as hypocrites in no time, and the gym bro culture would be back with a vengeance.
So while there is no one forcing you to pay or subscribe to any Onlyfans creators - it’s about time we remove the stigma, and hate, to these opportunistic ladies.
