Why do so many men and boys hate women?

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?

  • Thank you Gina. I feel very discriminated against here. I think it's good that you are enforcing these rules here. It's not good to discriminated against anyone for any reason. I prefer to view all people as equals. And as I stated I think not all men should be put in the category of violent or dangerous. Because most men are fine and don't hate women at all. So yeh less discrimination on here the better. Let's all view eachother as friends instead of enemies here.
