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?

    Before the facts of life about how babies are made was understood, generally all the gods and deities were female. Once people understood that it takes one man to make a woman pregnant, men realised they need a woman to carry their bloodline. Society completely changed and men became dominant.  Now I think it is because in the main, men are absolutely terrified of women. Generally they are smarter than men have better communication skills, endurance to keep going that most men could never dream of, they are more skilled at manipulation. They are also scared that a woman can choose her sexual partners by whom to get pregnant. And she is perfectly capable (they don't necessarily do) of getting pregnant by a rival male. 

    The only area where men excel is having a longer arm and heavier punch.
