Fragile Masculinity

 Something which has become increasingly apparent to me is that  cisgender men really don't like  having their ignorance shown up. 

They will use whatever power they have to censure, gaslight and marginalise women who stand up to them and who actually know about a topic. 

They will also jump to the defence of other misogynists and take any notice that misuse of process will not be tolerated as a reason to double down and threaten  women.

They also as a spinal reflex threaten violence and/or exclusion.
