That must be really exhausting. I'm sorry you have had to deal with so much crap. The ironic part is that if they are such natural leaders, why would they need to talk women down?
My view over the past few decades is that, for the average man, their role in society is not clear and it's getting worse. And everyone wants to matter. But going back to sexism is a bad look and doesn't fix mediocrity in a global world.
