iqqi you're onto an interesting subject but I think you can do better than this article. There is a TON of misogyny out there right now, of course the functional effect is to restore agency to the impressionable male masses -- who regrettably castrated themselves by trying to be good feminists, then realized women wanted men and not doormats. How did they realize? Well women voted with their feet, so to speak.
It's my opinion, most women who once argued vehemently with their hapless male friends in college over feminism, did so because victimhood is empowering and fun. You have the right to be mad, accuse people, criticize others, justify brattiness, etc. Unfortunately eventually the guys clue in that their "friends" never had their interests at heart, and what happened was a personal-level power play rather than any kind of legit political stance where support would actually be appreciated. Women aren't unequal as students -- in fact they're usually the teacher's pet right? They are less suspicious as renters, have more choices for roommates, etc. As a teenager I once was manuevered out of a job I loved to make room for a hot girl my age who was less experienced and responsible than me (and would incidentally drink with the 20-ish management). I have never been paid more than any woman at a job, and since my early 20's every job I've worked has involved a certain risk of serious injury or death. Female representation was obviously low. I could go on but the point is, I can shut down any theoretical argument about "privilege" at this point simply by recounting my personal experience. All this female whining about feminism in my youth simply rewarded the shadier guys who could recognize an underhanded power play, told the girls to fvck off, and won respect for seeing through their bullsh!t. Not to mention the imbalance that resulted, since some guys were unfvckable, cheapened sexuality for everyone. These younger girls weren't malicious -- bad girls are out there too but I think guys know where the norm is. The problem is nobody really knew what they were doing to each other or themselves, and what's happening now is the painful process of sorting out how "modern" sexuality can actually work. That is why SS exists. "Hooking up smart" is pretty much the female version for lack of a better reference.
I see caring, sweet girls all the time -- even getting that "we care about you" smile, helping you still feel human when you're down, is such a gift from women to men. Women and men shouldn't hate each other. Good relations are about helping each other (sex can be an excellent way -- fvck, some day's don't you just need a hug and somebody to talk to?). Those girls are angels (or to people who don't understand, sluts!). They're also rare. I'm sure girls say the same thing about truly good guys.
So what's going on now, on the internet at least? Guys are trying on the victimization angle, guys are trying to learn to hate woman so they don't get tricked again, guys are hating women because it's groupthink or testosterone-fuelled expression. I'd like to think it's a phase (like feminism at university for well-off girls who haven't seen men suffer yet), however there is a lot of squaking from this contingent so maybe the problem seems worse than in is. Plus, everyone is an a$shole on the internet, even me.
Much ado about nothing... lets not forget there's a fair amount of sexual frustration to boot
