Why do so many men and boys hate women?

TheCatWoman

Counter terrorism officers are joing with collegues from the NCA to create a task force to catch boys and young men being radicalised into extreme misogynist acts, like school shootings and finding vulnerable young women and girls online and encouraging suicide.

I don't accept that social media is the root of it all, it certainly helps it spread, but I think those attitudes have been around for years, centuries, even millenia. Where does this sense of entitlement come from and how do we protect women and girls from male violence and how do we protect men and boys from these influences and challenge them to see women as people?

  • A tricky topic. I would think a lot of it stems from society/culture, if you look at history, women have been generally speaking second class citizens, not having the same rights as men. This is the case in a lot of societies and reinforced by many religions. I think some men don't like being challenged or threatened by women. I think its got to be a combination of things that need to come together. Education, seeing more women take positions of power/influence, maybe doing traditional men jobs/roles, need to really tackle the crimes around women in particular far more seriously, better male role models rather than some of these clowns on reality TV shows/Social media.
