CMV: Treating 'good men' as the exception and not a baseline is only boosting misogynist viewpoints.
I'm a man, and I'm in quite a few friend groups that are mostly women. I've always been well liked, but in the last 6 months or so I've watched a lot of my friends start to 'man-hate', and whenever I address this they seem to treat me as an exception to all other men who are apparently awful and terrible.
And don't get me wrong, there are a lot of bad men out there but they are in NO way the majority in such a way that I should be seen as an exception and it's immensely frustrating to the point where I feel like I'm developing a complex about it.
I specifically avoid the 'manosphere' groups, but I feel like this messaging becoming more prevalent is only boosting their ideas if women see all these men as irredeemable. I don't know whats caused the surge in the last ~5 months or so, but these ideas have become much more common amongst these women I know.
