      This is just my personal opinion and I could be wrong, but I think women who’ve been catcalled by adult men since they started growing breasts at 12 years old, have a… Well not good, but understandable reason for hating men. I understand where they’re coming from better than I understand any misogynist.

        toxic masculinity is bad for males too. so many dudes i know are still stuck in that high school boy mindset, and don’t understand, at middle age, why they make everyone cringe and can’t seem to sustain a happy healthy relationship

          Yeah, the patriarchy is bad for everyone. Misogynistic men rail against their own liberation because the women are gaining slightly more than they’re gaining. Enlightened men welcome the fact that being sensitive, caring, thoughtful, and in love with your partner is now socially acceptable. It’s the 21st century and men are now allowed to cry when they feel sad. This is great news. Way better than strip clubs.

      Misanthropes, however, can just gesture vaguely at society in general and be proven right.
