A '''spook''' is a slighty overlapping term also used in the [[left wing|lefty]] [[manosphere]] to describe ideas/movements/behaviours born seemingly solely from zealotry/ideology. Such alleged distractions are usually identity politics related, or, "IDpol". Feminism is often described as a, "spook", in lefty [[manosphere|manospherian]] sites.
