Are men in general just reaching an all time high of being really chitty?

I honestly don't think so, but shitty men are reaching all time high levels of being really shitty.

In part, I believe we now mostly see and hear from the shitty men, because "we" have inadvertently silenced many of the non-shitty men. They've been reflexively smacked on the nose so many times for "speaking out of turn", especially by libfems, even when perhaps they had a valid point, that now they've largely stopped speaking out at all unless it's very obviously about something directly affecting them. (Then again, most women have also been silenced, e.g., when trying to speak up about the whole trans mess, and most are just hunkering down.)

Since cis men aren't getting much of the grief from TRAs, unlike women in general, and us lesbians especially, I guess they figure that since they often have been told to sit down and listen when women talk about their problems, and often rightfully so, they're now figuring that they'll stay out and do just that.
