Andy Olsen @andyo.bsky.social · 16/08/2026"Manosphere" is a terrible name. These grown up children do not define what it is to be a man. They are a minority of men. Call it something descriptive like "Dorkosphere" or "Losersphere" or "ManBabySphere" or "Jerksphere." 3152
Andrew J. Bromage @pseudonym73.bsky.social · 17/08/2026It does not even slightly resemble "traditional masculinity" as the silent/greatest generation men (who were the elders when I was a kid) taught me. They taught me chivalry. A man should be a gentleman and a mensch. Always kind, always gracious, always selfless towards the fair sex. 210
Andrew J. Bromage @pseudonym73.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Of course it could be patronising as hell, especially in the workplace. Of course equality is better than chivalry. But that's not my point. My point is that it is not what these morons teach is unrecognisable as anything "traditional". 120
Markle2k @markle2k.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I had a way out. If I was at the door I would hold the door open, regardless. Now if you, man or woman, wanted to show me that you were independent and strong by grabbing the door yourself, that was okay too. 110
