I don't know any of the details that you mention or how pervasive it is.  
 
I've supported women's choice for most of my life.   I think anyone who cherishes freedom of choice in their own lives would as well.  It's a major change in western culture that is mostly unprecedented.    There are mistakes made on all sides and the lack of empathy from both men and women, doesn't help.   

In some ways it challenges us to act against our impulse and to be more generous.   Men will always be physically more powerful and giving up power for equality is tough to do.    While women have more choices in their life, it seems men do not and that makes us defensive. 

I wish I had another 50 years to see how it's going!
