Mark Doidge @markdoidge.bsky.social · 29/09/2026“A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on”. This is right wing ideology.

Mark Doidge @markdoidge.bsky.social · 29/09/2026For all the narrative about men being strong and tough and individualistic, much of masculinity is the fear of being vulnerable and therefore many men follow the herd.
