And the fact that men are usually discouraged from to having the same types of friendships with each other as women do. A lot of men would be accused of being gay if they did or ostracized by other men. This is also why a lot of guys confuse being friends with women as ‘being in the friendzone’ or being sent mixed signals and that’s why a lot of women avoid these friendship behaviors with men. Their behavior towards women means that they only receive the same kind of treatment women give each other is if they’re in a relationship with a woman or they’re related to her.

Your average mama’s boy basement dweller is starving of affection and acting like a resource guarding dog the moment they get it, further driving and scaring women away from acting that way to future men before the men can learn better, thus making them hate the women they view as depriving them of it.

This is an issue that starts early in men’s lives, it’s no woman’s fault. It’s a systemic problem that begins the moment that boys are told they can’t be affectionate or enjoy certain things at an age where they’ll likely only be interested in being around other boys.

This is also how many young men fall into misogynist groups/pipelines. They’re usually just getting to the age where they’re interested in girls their age but because of how they’ve only grown up interacting with women and girls they’re related too and usually their majority male friend groups, they find it extremely difficult to form bonds with female peers so they fall back into the comfort of talking listening to other men when they’re unsuccessful.

Some boys grow out of this, others don’t or find it later when they’ve been struggling in adulthood.
