Some women go as far as to reject any heterosexual relationships despite being attracted to men for precisely this reason, and they often come from bad families, so relationship with men in the family is also negative.

Sure, most women are less radical, but even for them this constant hyperbole often sends anxiety levels to the moon, makes them unhealthily cautious, obsessed, in some cases paranoid.

Many women who have never been abused or threatened (at least from what they say) in any serious way can develop fear and loathing of men simply by leaning into this narrative.

And this seriously messes with very real relationships.

And it's not a case of "women stupid", no. Men can and do absolutely fall for the similar traps, growing stereotypes about women and leaning into them. It's a universal human trait, and the one we have to address.
