I don't understand misogyny at all. What's it all about? If you were homosexual and were raised in an ancient Macedonian army or something perhaps you wouldn't see a mother, sisters, daughters, lovers, work colleagues, neighbors, friends but who lives like that? Boys who live in front of a screen and are too anxious and scared to go outside? Racism I can kind of understand if you only have superficial knowledge of other people and cultures.
Once that testosterone kicks in at puberty women aren't generally a physical threat to men. I don't really understand all the fear of them. Some women are really, really cool. Like serious friend material and lifelong partner stuff.
They don't hate women, they just like to dominate.
80% of car accidents here are caused by wreckless driving by guys.
Guys are more dominant, and dominating women is viewed as misogyny.
Do not misunderstand. There's no hatred for women.
Except in niche cases like my mate that got his heart broken at age 15 when he was fat, then he went on and dated 5 girls at the same time because he didn't trust them. Then basically kept 1 of them and is now in a long term relationship. The one girl never knowing that he did that.
He was raised by his grandparents/single mother.
His dad went on to have a 2nd family where he wouldn't be a deadbeat father. So it's kinda idk.. it's his stuff.
So I guess there can be some hatred for women when it comes to having a broken heart and trust issues. But that's mostly for young guys.
Hating people is mostly a dumb thing to do, but it's not always a choice. You get your heart broken, love turns to hate until enough time passes before it can become indifference and you move on.
Racism.. 14 year olds are idiots. They segregate themselves by how they look and sound like and start fighting with eachother.
Russia phobia ๐ well, they done fucked up didn't they?
What else do we have...
Sinophobia.. scary government bruv
Western phobia.. I'll let LMs write that one out
Phobia's a normal thing, gets eliminated by long term communication
Wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.

Please take the time to listen to this lecture. It will genuinely help you and it's very entertaining imo.
Testosterone causes enforcement, not aggression or dominance of women. Enforcement. Sapolsky did a famous study on baboons about this, amd we also have a human example - Buddhist monks who go around "enforcing" peace by chanting and praying etc.
Men hate women because they believe they should, they abuse women because they give themselves permission to do so. No other reason. Anything else is an excuse and justification for it. Read "Why Does He Do That?" By Lundy or "Stop Caretaking the Borderline or Narcissist" to learn more.
Bigotry is a product of narcissism, which is based in delusional beliefs. A narcissist may never get better. A racial narcissist example is a white supremacist ("my race is best"), which is obviously delusional, which causes narcissistic supply every time they confront it and refuse to let the delusion be corrected. They then will act out, eg say racist slurs, to enforce their racial narcissism on others to satisfy their brain chemistry (it's deeply uncomfortable to resist unlearning delusional beliefs when faced with evidence, so they satisfy the histamine with adrenaline rushes included by being antisocial).
Le chat:
"Men are statistically more likely to be violent than women, according to various studies and data. This tendency is reflected in higher rates of violent crimes, such as intimate partner violence, murder, assault, and rape, where men are the predominant perpetrators. Several factors contribute to this disparity:
Biological Factors: Evolutionary perspectives suggest that male aggression has been shaped by sexual selection, where men compete more intensely for access to mates. This competition has led to physical characteristics such as larger size and strength, which are associated with greater physical aggressiveness.
Social and Cultural Factors: Social conditioning and societal expectations play a significant role. Men are often encouraged to be aggressive and dominant, while women are typically socialized to be more submissive and passive.
Neurological Differences: Studies using fMRI and EEG have shown differences in brain activity related to aggression. Men tend to have higher amygdala activation during provocation, which is associated with impulsive aggression.
Behavioral Differences: From a young age, boys and girls exhibit different levels of physical aggression. While both genders peak in physical aggressiveness between two and four years old, girls learn to suppress these behaviors more quickly than boys.
Types of Aggression: Men tend to express physical, overt, and direct aggression more frequently, whereas women are more likely to engage in relational and indirect forms of aggression.
These factors combined contribute to the overall higher levels of violence observed in men compared to women."

Lol this proves my point, thanks for playing
Who downvoted you lol. But yeah, that's literally just AI.
I use AI to provide a less biased view whenever I talk about subjects I'm not that experienced in.
Because the last thing I want is to be influenced by an extremist.
Edit:
Now now now now, the best thing is communication and not antagonising one another.
But that do be quite a challenge
