Why do so many men hate women?

Yes I’ve also noticed this constantly on social media. Men saying alsorts of discusting things to women they don’t even know

I can’t say for certain but my assumption is the role of their mother plays a big role. Men who have living mothers that they have good relationships with often have more positive views on women.

Right. It’s sad. It’s vile.

I think it stems from them being rejected by women so they lash out, making them feel in control again. I recently shared some Instagram posts on the topic of men speaking up about these horrible news stories and the only male reply I got was from a friend of mine who said he "didn't get it". I said I was raising awareness, (which was very obvious from the posts I shared) and he said he "didn't understand who I was aiming it at", basically on the defensive about daring to say anything bad about men. It's truly disappointing to see even men you are friends with can't seem to speak up. 😬 I'm having a girl and it makes me really worried about her future 😭

But when did it become acceptable for the ability to spout so much shit? Can we blame the mother? Do we blame the girlfriend at 16 years old? Do we blame the internet being at the tip of our fingers? Do we blame the societal ideas imposed on men and women? Like, regardless of your relationship with your mum, is it alright for a 70+ woman to be drugged and raped for 10 years? Because our girlfriend broke our heart at 16, we should set the mother of our children alight when she returns from church? Because Andrew Tate says women are slaves we should imprison our partner for 4 days until she jumps out of the window for safety? How do we overturn the current ideology of so many men? How do we begin to even tackle it? Nobody raises their child to be an absolute menace to women, but it happens, and it happens far too much. I just cannot understand any of it and I don’t know where to begin to TRY and understand why or how it happens.

So true!!!!! It’s crazy! I blame social media to be honest! Not completely of course but it is part of the problem. There is a vicious cycle going on where damaged men glued to social media see videos of women either saying fuk men or women living their best lives without men their egos get hurt then they listen to podcasts of men saying fuk women and then they go about being jealous, resentful and hateful towards women or even worse being charming and deep down harbouring this hatred for women…. Then they treat women badly then women share their stories on socials, more women say fuk men we don’t need them, more men say fuk women and then the cycle continues!! When really women don’t want to hate men but it seems men love to hate women.

I also have a theory that A LOT of men want to be women (I’m not talking Trans). Just general men… it’s deep.But that’s taking this post to a whooooooole new level lol!

Men that have been rejected by women alot spout this shit, but then if they're being rejected by women frequently they need to ask themselves why!

@Zaza please do tell me more about this idea! I’m hoping to address the issue at work with my students (16+) in the near future but have no idea where to actually begin!

I'm not sure you will ever understand why many men are like this. They are so defensive you will never get a straight answer from them 😬 but I do think freedom of speech should be taken away from the likes of Andrew Tate as it is growing the problem and putting women at risk 😬😭

I don’t think it’s a growing trend, they are just more open about it. And they hate us cuz they ain’t us. Or they are secretly gay. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I feel it’s actually single young men out teenage boys because of how disgustingly toxic the internet is now. Any decent, grown man would laugh at them and their stupidity.

I think it's a number of things. But I think it correlates to women gaining more equality and needing men less. In the US, women could not open a bank account on their own until the late 70s. There are other factors. My theory is that now that women are less reliant on men, some men feel threatened or feel a power struggle. They want to lash out because of that fear of rejection. It gets amplified online in the various silos some men fall into and those silos create echo chambers.

I wonder if a lot of decent men don’t recognise the extent of the problem as they don’t think that way? When the Sarah Everard case happened I remember having a few chats about male privilege that just hadn’t occurred to the men I was talking to but were almost universal experiences for women e.g. walking the long route home, men standing too close to you, holding your keys between your fingers etc. I think women have more of a voice/ platform now than ever before so some men feel their voices are being drowned out when they were used to being the only ones heard. They feel as if the balance has tipped towards women when in reality it’s about trying to redress the balance. I also think mental health is a huge issue for men and still quite taboo to talk about (though getting better). Maybe it’s linked to the idea of what it means to be a man being a lot more rigid than being a woman & they don’t have tools to deal with things? Or their bad behaviour is excused as boys will be boys?🙄

@Zaza very intrigued by the whole other level! What do you mean?

@Sorrel so many good points! I have had to explain to some men why the book "The Gift of Fear" is so important for women to read. This isn't a new problem, but it is a more noticed (or possibly growing) one now.

Their moms

@Amy Oh I haven’t heard of that book, will take a look - thanks 🙌🏽

I read an article that said 50 years ago we NEEDED men. Women couldn’t open a bank account without a man to co-sign. They didn’t need to be nice or likeable, we needed them to get through life. We don’t need them anymore. They have to suddenly put in effort to make us want them instead. And they resent that. We don’t have to wait on them, to serve them as gratitude for them being our access to the basic rights we’ve been deprived of. They resent us for being closer to being free.

Interesting that mothers have been blamed twice so far in the comments and fathers haven’t even been mentioned…

It’s unfortunate & the war of sexes, and anything that tries to put what a man should be or woman should be in a box will create this. Too much division creates disrespect & the sexism that we see. I definitely notice this too. There should be no division or stereotypes created to add to the division but so many are coming into play & being bought into by more susceptible & easily influenced minds. It will only destroy humanity in the long run and actually lower fertility amongst people & create more violence & breaks apart families. It’s sad to see it on any level

@Zaza I would love to hear your theory!!!

@Amy I totally agree with this comment! Men are Less needed, working jobs that they are not biologically programmed to do or being knocked down at work. Men have very fragile egos. They biologically would to help them strive to be better and strive to be the best “mating” potential. In our society now I think a lot of men feel scorned by woman. We take a higher paying job than them, or we leave them in a relationship, we don’t “need” them like we use to. They feel like they should be getting better looking woman or they would be getting more attention outside of the relationship. Woman are still seen by some men as a “object” where there worth is there looks and a man’s status is tied into how “ his girl” looks. Then these Attitudes get bounced around by weak minded men and adopted by other men that have been hurt and create a scape goat of blaming the woman for their problems. Woman are very powerful; we create life. We have purpose. 💗
