we merely point out that there's a version of masculinity, which appears to be growing, that embraces the worst of human attributes & glorifies them. The reverse of that is to shame & humiliate what are traditionally considered feminine traits. And women aren't immune to these ways of thinking either but I do think you will find women who think this way are generally aligned with these types of men.
