but there definitely was a time during the late 2010s where the man-hating got a bit too much in my opinion.
As someone who identified as a man during that time, I think it did. I distinctly remember someone saying "kill all men" a lot during that era. There was another that bothered me, but it felt more like she'd had a bad string of romantic partners and would say "men are trash", but it always felt targeted more towards bad men. Either way, the second never really made me uncomfortable. Or at least not in the same way.
I find it odd that during a time period when things (at least in the US) are leaning more and more right that now is the time men feel like they need to walk on egg shells.
