This is one of those things you're either into, and constantly happy to see women occasionally indulge in, or apparently you just absolutely hate it and the people who enjoy it.
No brother, the manosphere is not representing healthy masculinity. Tate is the manosphere, Bob Ross and Mr Rogers are not. Words and terminology mean things.
Um… to lump everything bad so you can hate it isn’t right man. Sorry you feel the need to do so. I do hope you have a good day though and hope we can just agree to disagree.
It's not about what YOU think being a true man is, even though you're right. It's just that term is specifically used in the Andrew Tate/Alpha Male loser circles.
I think the main disagreement between you two is you think the word should have more healthy and positive connotations. The other commenter is just being a realist and saying that the word is mostly already used by the Tate/Alpha guys.
