Honestly, as a guy, I’m more and more starting to feel the same. There’s so much dumb or hurtful shit happening under the premise of “boys being boys”. It’s making me hate basically everything about men and being male. Luckily there are plenty of us who are chill, so I look for those. But seeing some men being impulsive, aggressive, dominant, offensive assholes is definitely becoming more and more frustrating. It’s painful to look back how much of this behaviour was just programmed into our brains as normal.
The problem isn’t all men, but too many men. Whenever I feel misandry bubbling up because of “man did common bad thing again”, I think of all my male friends. I love them too much to feel any hate. They are good people. Same goes for most men at my gym. They encourage rather than put down.
