The root of this is the disgust reaction we have to lesser males.

It's better for everyone if they don't reproduce, so naturally we despise them. Our whole species would be improved if they ran off and died face down in a ditch somewhere. The idea that they would be having sex and thus pass on their inferior genes to children is offensive and harmful to us all.

Of course we don't want to listen to them. Of course hearing their cries of pain grates on our nerves. Literally nobody cares about them.

We used to have these things called wars in which we sent millions of these worthless men to an early grave. But we've given up on that and what do you know, suddenly they have a voice. So we resort to silencing them. You said it right when you feel like they want to marry a millionaire - you feel they want way too much and wish with all your being that they will never achieve their goals.

They are The Other.
