Millennial here. Are Gen Z men as misogynistic as it seems?

I’ll be honest, most of my interactions with gen z men is through gaming, so the sample might not be a proper size. The others I talk to through work but I live in a pretty liberal area.

I had huge hopes for a progressive wave of educated and empowered minds, thinking technology would remove the walls of more structured and controlled education.

I don’t think the people I’ve been speaking to are stupid but I have heard some of the most hateful and vile rhetoric towards women I’ve heard through most generations I speak to.

How’re the rest of you feeling this out? Is this just some herd mentality craziness? Was it the isolation of technology? Our am I just completely overthinking it?
