Misogyny goes through phases in Western culture. It only resurfaced in young men the past 5+ years with Andrew Tate and growing unrest in young male circles.

Modern misogyny is not like it was 50 years ago. Women nowadays are raised seeing men as lesser and having one sided relationship standards. Men are told constantly to tow the line and worship women or else they aren't man enough, men are told that women can do no wrong, and this toxic mindset has forced young men to swing the other direction and start practising misogyny.

Obviously neither side is justified. Men should treat women better, and women need to respect and treat men better. The MeToo movement was hijacked and transformed into a way to go beyond holding men accountable and actually unfairly persecuting men for simply being men.

Modern men are repeatedly told they are dangerous to women, they are repeatedly treated like predators and women have all the say. Women always come out better in court (mothers always get the kids, wives always get the lions share of assets). Women are no longer paid less in the workplace, they are actually paid more than men due to programs that once incentivised female recruitment now heavily favour women in general.

What you are seeing is young men fighting back in any way they can to reset the status quo and feel more valued and less targeted. It's still not right, I agree, and I hate Andrew Tate as much as anyone, but there is a very good reason idiots like Andrew Tate have such strong influence on men these days, and the fault lies with the actions and behaviours of modern women.
