A complicated combination of women being seen as fair game, and women simply being held to higher standards. Knowing that if they get aggressive with men, men are socialised to A) not be as intimidated in the first place and B) get aggressive back at them (and have that be expected and acceptable). If women respond aggressively, it only leads to them being further branded bitter/aggressive/hateful. How many male celebrities are OPENLY gender critical all over the media and face a fraction of the backlash JK Rowling has had ... for (initially) simply seeking an open good faith discussion of the subject.

I see it literally all the time.

There's something Daniel LaRusso's daughter in Cobra Kai says at one point - obviously relating to kids beating each other up with Karate - but she says something like "When boys fight back they're called heroes, when girls fight back we're called psycho."

Cobra Kai with the facts.

Absolutely spot on. You forgot the most important one we're called though "hysterical"
