I am sorry, but there is a huge difference between a man and a tech bro holy shit. For one, a tech bro could more accurately be described as aspiring to be a man, but not there yet, with miles of maturation left to go.

@antoniogm is right here. It is a very particular pejorative that implies a very specific type of person. Generally it is used incorrectly when applied to techies. Though it has such common usage "tech bro" might fork the lexicon in a weird incoherent way. -
I know originally it meant a particular kind of person, but (some) people's desire for a general-purpose pejorative for men was so strong that usage rapidly drifted toward that.

Rest assured, Kara Swisher didn't mean "friendly tech bro" in a polite way.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/opinion/coronavirus-venture-capital-stimulus.html …

No it isn’t. It’s a fair representation of a culture.

Motte-and-Bailey—make the OK kind of bro & the bad kind of bro the same word so that every time "bro" is used it keeps the negative connotation while also retaining plausible deniability ("I didn't mean the bad kind! They chose to interpret it that way.)https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/03/all-in-all-another-brick-in-the-motte/ …
