Ofcom is the UK's speech police.

That they're saying they've overreacted to the "manosphere" IMHO means they realized that the political winds are shifting. Shifting to what? To the end of sexual bigotry against men? Or to a new world of Muslim male dominance in the UK?

I dunno.

A friend and I are teaming up to teach a class on this book. If you have not read it, it is simply a must read for every man, especially if you’re still a teenager. But I’m 71 and it very much changed my life and exposed so many of the places I went wrong in my life.

Remember when Gavin Newsom was so worried because his son was into this? Has there been any update on this? How old is the son now?

The Guardian was left of the Communist Party when I was at grad school in the UK, and it’s worse now. Interesting to see that perhaps, just perhaps, the realization that they are laughable jokes is seeping into their tiny little heads.

“Society” pays no attention to terms like “manosphere.” It’s a BS term create by the left and rabid feminists. Normal people ignore it.

WTH is a "manosphere"? Is it like a bathysphere? Or the atmosphere? Maybe a stone cold lithosphere?

I picture the rugged, masculine "manosphere" looks like this. Or maybe two of these big balls side-by-side.

I don’t really think Andrew Tate is part of the manosphere. He is a misandrist who tries to con men out of money.

Every social movement has a counter moment.

The rise of modern feminism has demanded the emasculation of men.

Men, tired of being lectured about “toxic masculinity,” being told to cry and be more effeminate, being told they are bad because they like football and UFC, or that they are bad because of how they like to resolve conflict (direct and physical), that their physical nature is somehow wrong starting in grade school where they can't sit still in class 8 hours a day, have this world to flee too.

This is good thing - that men get to hear other men and how they think and feel.

Men don't want to be told they are bad for being men.

So many folks wringing their handkerchiefs over a made up term and condition. A good person may use rough language to express a wise and caring thought.

Word 2 to wise: “Nihil Sub Sole Novum!”
Said another way:”There is nothing new under the Sun!”

::Many of the participants expressed a strong commitment to equal treatment and fairness....::

~~~~~~

In what I have observed in my life, equal treatment and fairness are exhibited much more often by men than by women.

Sounds like Ofcom is bunch of British male fruitcakes who like to dress up like their mothers and play with dolls. They should go ahead and see Dr. Chopitoff, but a pride flag and parade around London with their king.

‘Manosphere’…. only from the minds of a leftist gender confused whackjob does this crap come from.

Re: Society may have overestimated the risk of the "Manosphere," UK researchers say...

Society overestimated?

The Political Left is 100% responsible for that over estimate.

Tax payers do not need "researchers" to explain what they can see with their own eyes!

But no problem with male Islamic rapists and groomers.

The main group of mindless lockstep ideologues are leftists.
