I actually agree with that and I think that's basically the case everywhere at the moment, especially social media / online. Women HAVE been on the back foot for most of history and now are feeling empowered (which is a great thing) and so maybe an element of backlash/anger, that might seem like misandry, was always going to happen in the short term and there's always going to be "collateral damage". Like you say it doesn't make it OK but the psychology is understandable.

On a positive note, maybe the fact that it's happening does mean that real equality isn't too far off, and things will settle down into a more equal society .

Worldwide that is. Not on here, TiBB is a lost cause
