I guess this all comes down to how women see men and any predisposed ideas they may have, as we aren't all the same.
I've discussed this with my GF and she shared how that some of her female friends are vary wary of men through experiences they've had throughout their lives and as such react to, avoid and create situations in which they don't repeat the bad ones. Whilst she understands this, she doesn't act the same way and still has 'faith' in us guys still and doesn't see us all as potential abusers or misongyists unlike some she knows, she would be one of the girls to take this in the most postive way or even just shrug it off. I accept that some women will become very hostile towards men thanks to appaling behaviour from individuals who decide to abuse, harass etc, but I don't like this trend of plastering it all over the front page of the BBC news page everyday and forming a narrative against men as a group.
I do however think this comes down to a failure on guys as a group to police ourselves. There's been times I've let stuff go unchallenged from friends that's totally not cool, when looking back to my younger years I could have done something about it. I think this is where the message about innapropriate behaviour should be and could help young lads protect themselves from growing up into one of the despicible individuals that women have to deal with, and causes them to become so distructful and negative towards men.
