This issue in New Zealand has been alive and not well since I can remember (1960 onwards). Having experienced it all my life whether in social, work or educational arenas. One instinctively taking the necessary precautions to protect oneself. Until going overseas and experiencing a totally different prospective to women and being treated with respect and then returning, did I truly comprehend just how bad it was in this country. There is a massive underlying issue of anger (rejection) within our male psyche across all social economic levels and thus has made for an ideal breeding ground for narcissists. With the ease and secrecy now of online forums it allows those to congregate, share and feed off each other incredibly unhealthy and potentially dangerous, violent male supremacist ideologies.

Thank you for this. We've just had someone murder someone on video in South Africa... and the incels are all over the media supporting him. Horrific.

How about it's the crappy parents that don't teach their children how to grow into respectful adults.

How about just blaming the men for being horrible people?
