It's an interesting one Daddy that's for sure.
I will put my tin hat on though and suggest this..
Maybe it's on the increase because men are fed up of being portrayed as the enemy by a large section of especially younger females. Men are now seen as expendable as there is always another one that comes along. We are constantly told we are useless and nothing more than preditors, misogynistic and sexist and maybe men are just fed up of it and are fighting back?
Misogyny is the new buzzword but it's being used for anything negative that is said about women, when in fact it means a dislike of women or a prejudice against women.
Maybe men are feeling used, not appreciated for things they have done or do for women and they are just starting to rebel a little?
