And when nobody offers a seat to elderly or disabled people or pregnant women. And it's not just millennials, it's actually largely Gen-X white men who are the worst at this. (I say this as a recently very pregnant woman who rides the metro daily.)
Every one of those men, at some point in the past, got a rude response when he offered his seat to someone, and thus he stopped doing it.
That is idiotic logic. Truly.
(Shrug) Logic is irrelevant. A man-baby insulted has no desire to expose himself to further insult.
FTFY. You're not a real man.

Been riding the red line for 22 years and have seen hundreds of men (and women) offer seats, and 100% of the time the response has been a smile and either “Thank you!” Or “I’m fine, but thanks.”

I have to say I was not familiar with the term "manspreading".

I'll generally just stand up if there's any question. Someone else can choose to sit there or not. Not hard people.
