Can you tell me information on the reasons for such a large percentage of men acting chauvinistic towards women today?

Recent years have seen an increasing awareness of the impacts that patriarchy and chauvinism have on gender relations. While some men are beginning to embrace a more equitable gender dynamic, others cling to traditional views of masculinity, leading to chauvinistic attitudes and behaviour. Some studies point to factors such as media and parental influences for shaping attitudes about gender roles among adolescents and young adult males. Furthermore, entrenched gender stereotypes can lead to a perpetuation of patriarchy among boys and young men.
