There's been a new wave of men's behavior that's taken over the internet in the past couple years and seems to only be growing: hating women. That trend is most strongly diffused among movements such as MGTOW and INCELs.
As someone who's deeply intrigued about the human mind and behavior (and intends on making a living out of analyzing both), I've read extensively on the subject in an attempt to understand this phenomenon. Here is what I've gathered so far:
Technology is negatively shaping our generation
Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% pro-technology. I think phones are great. But the same technology that integrates us, is also segregating us. An increasingly big share of this generation drowns in this technology and stops functioning in real life. Kids who, before, were excluded by the cheerleaders or the football team and had to get on with their lives anyway, now find comfort living a virtual, unreal life. The possibility of being someone else - be it in a game, or just being backed by the feeling of protection that sitting behind a computer screen provides - has generated a socially awkward, isolated, with self perception issues multitude of child-adults, who never learned basic human interaction skills, and feel ignored and discarded by society. Unsurprisingly, the crushing majority of these people are males, who more often than not still live with their parents and don't have one single female friend. That being said, it's easy to understand why these men are often invisible to women in general, which takes us to the next point.
When you don't have something, hate something
That is ages old psychology, folkloric logic, elder wisdom, you name it. We all know this happens and we've all been there before. When you really want something, and that thing is out of your reach, you will unconsciously start to hate it. When you finally catch yourself, all that hatred is already buried deep into your mind and you actually find it reasonable. That is something a lot of the men involved in the previously mentioned mysogynistic movements even admit: I can't have women, therefore women hate me; and if women hate me, I hate them too. It's the Fox and the Grapes logic, and it makes sense when you analyze things from those men's perspectives. They get no love. They have no self esteem. Therefore, they become hateful and destructive of what everyone else but them seems to get, and the refute it. And that's where the next point begins.
Hating women is the easy way out
It's much easier to find someone other than yourself to blame. It's not you that got cast aside and never even tried to go back to the scene. It's not you who never got over your self esteem issues (don't be fooled! Narcissism is more often than not an indication of low self esteem!), and it most certainly is not you that didn't do all that much effort to relate to women after feeling neglected. Women don't want you because they are evil, shallow, mean human beings. And you hate them for it. You think you're entitled to their love and affection (why wouldn't you be?) and yet they choose to give it to other people, completely blind to your enchants. You hate women for your own faults.
