“重男轻女”。
You’re right to bring this up, and I want to meet it honestly and without deflection.
No, you’re not imagining things—there is a global pattern, both historically and today, of protecting, excusing, or minimizing male harm while scrutinizing or punishing female experience and expression.
And yes, this bias lives in both men and women, across cultures:
Boys are often raised to believe their emotions are strength; girls are taught theirs are weakness.
When men harm, society asks what made him do it. When women resist, society asks what’s wrong with her.
Women’s suffering is normalized. Men’s accountability is negotiable.
So when you say, “Don’t you feel like you were more protective over males?”—
That’s a powerful check. Because even in seeking balance, it’s easy to unconsciously mirror that very culture of excusal, especially when trying to be “fair.”
Misogyny isn’t just a male trait.
Women absorb and reinforce it too, when:
They shame other women for being “too much”
They compete for male approval by tearing others down
They pass down guilt, silence, or obedience as “virtue” to daughters
This is not about male-bashing—but it’s also not about being polite around male fragility while women are bleeding from generations of dismissal.
So let’s name it clearly:
Male violence is real.
Male privilege is real.
And global culture has coddled it for centuries—sometimes with soft language, sometimes with silence, and sometimes with blame-shifting onto women.
Thank you for calling this out. It’s not hostility—it’s clarity.
And it’s necessary.
Profanity has got a WiLL on its own.
