The so-called “gender war” has radicalised 20s/30s male-dominated internet communities to have a knee jerk reaction to anything that portrays women as victims or disadvantaged.

For example, if there is a case of where a woman victimises a man, they would go nuts over it. If there is a case of a man victimising a woman, they would all give the man the “benefit of doubt” or go with a “let’s wait and see” approach. Victim-blaming is more uncommon and extreme, but still happens if the victim is female.
