Can you tell me information on the reasons for such a large percentage of men acting chauvinistic towards women today?
<|assistant|>
The reasons why so many men are acting chauvinistic towards women today are complex and varied. Some cultural norms, for example, lead men to hold gender-inferiority attitudes that lead to disrespectful behaviours towards women. The hyper-masculinization of society can result in men feeling more entrenched in a traditional power hierarchy, which may lead to controlling and disparaging attitudes towards women. Some forms of religion can encourage men to be dominant and discount women's rights and dignity. Additionally, men are socialised to suppress their own anxieties and emotions, leading them to unintentionally be hostile in the ways in which they interact with their partners and other women in their lives.
