Reply #6: Because from the day

[Maple]

we're born we are taught that women are 'different', 'other', usually 'lesser'.

It's a basic common theme to the 3 religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

But men also need women...for procreation, recreation, and a home.

And they are drawn to the 'lesser other' in spite of themselves because of those needs.

So...you may need 'em, but you don't have to like 'em.

And you don't have to be nice to them.

Which just creates a vicious circle because then women don't like you.

And how dare a 'lesser other' reject you when they should instead look up to you?

So the rejection/need grows, and so does mysogyny.
