  • Misogyny is definitely growing with men as a group it feels like. But it was always there.
    I think it does just come down to a ton of men still being very patriarchal, and just the arrogance that comes from that mindset. The audacity of patriarchal men to mistreat women and not respect women’s boundaries the way they would a man’s. I think a lot of them also try to say that women are being too sensitive since men tend to be rough with each other, but many men do things to women far worse than what they would do to a man. Thrre is also the playful day to day sexism, certain kinds of immature straight men will push each other down, but then push women down a lot lower. There are some very gendered ways in which men bully or abuse women, and not a lot that goes the other way around, and men’s abuse of women gets its own permission structure. I think it’s just what sexism allows men to do, and what patriarchy encourages men go do. And then the world is so forgivibg of men, but so hypercritical of women that there are all sorts of reasons people make up to hate us. The patriarchal men feeling superior and getting pushback is just one.
