Why do people keep on asking the question "Do men even like women?" ?

Like why are they asking that, imagine if someone ask "do women even like men" they'll probably get hate.

Because they're seeing and hearing a lot of anger from men, and all too many let that anger become hate. While that anger is (usually) legitimate, it's often misdirected: increasingly, people are realizing that men don't, in fact, have it better than women do, and that their issues are downplayed only when they aren't ignored outright. Calls for empathy are rejected, and often called misogyny- even when they're for things as innocuous as ending male genital mutilation, as well as female, or 50/50 child custody being the default in divorce cases. Ever seen this picture?

It's a sailor coming home after World War 2 and kissing some passing woman. I've heard stories of at least six different women claiming to be the one pictured, but the story is always the same: that kiss was NOT consensual. Well, that's a problem, to be certain, but the dialogue completely ignores the question of whether the guy's membership in the military was consensual (among the three guys I've seen alleged to be the man, it was, but there were hundreds of thousands for whom it wasn't). A woman gets forcibly kissed, once, and that's a source of shame and embarrassment; a man gets forcibly shipped off to spend years dodging bullets and killing people, and that's perfectly acceptable. Then he comes home to hear about how "privileged" he is, compared to women. The ramifications spill over into pretty much every aspect of life; this isn't just among those who're politically-minded. The implications for dating, in particular, can be very bleak.

Naturally, these developments aren't the fault of the average woman in the street, but the Overton window is pretty far down when it comes to addressing these things. And so discontent builds, and eventually becomes resentment, and then anger, and eventually, hate. Women, discouraged by society from questioning reality (and somewhat less naturally prone to doing so), don't see what's changed, and so are baffled, and unable to figure out what the problem is- so they conclude it's wild radical bigotry. More traditionalist men, usually in more stable social positions, come to basically the same conclusion.

Stirring the pot and trying to get women to bash men in the comments. Which some gladly do.

Because on here they keep seeing guys who are incels, simps, MGTOW, and whatnot. So, then they think that men don't like women due to the several people they see on here upset. But I can definitely say that there's many men that like women and many women that like men too. They just need to go outside to let their mind air out for a bit.

Why do people keep asking a lot of things on here? Talk about flogging a dead horse.

Because they're so mean to us nowadays.
