This post is heavily inspired by this video which summarizes what is easily one of the most painful twitch streams I have ever encountered in my life (which probably doesn't mean much considering I despise twitch for a number of reasons that I won't get into right now). The stream comes from some nasty twitch e-girl with an obscenely bloated ego who sees fit to invite one of her mods on for what is basically an hours long bullying session where she relentlessly hammers into his head what a disgusting incel she thinks he is, claims that she would prefer to get back together with her ex indefinitely (who she claims to have been emotionally abusive) rather than date him for a mere six months, acts like kissing him is akin to spilling toxic waste into her mouth once she is forced to do it after the stream reaches its donation goal, and to add insult to injury after making it clear how much she personally finds him disgusting, also implies that he is also such a loser that no other woman would dare hook up with him in some strange attempt to demolish his self esteem before they head out to a club for whatever the fuck this event is.

Now, while usually I would chalk this up to women on twitch being just a little more degenerate and sociopathic than they usually tend to be, the nature of Caitlin's unrelenting bullying here was such that it drew me to think that this is a behavior that seems to be growing frighteningly popular amongst many women, even seemingly normal ones both online and offline. Even outside of dating contexts, many women seem to feel the need to casually demean men that are not even particularly creepy or unlikable, but simply unattractive to them specifically, particularly in the manner of systemically destroying the sexual confidence of men however they possibly can. This is a behavior that, unfortunately, I have even seen on this subreddit and across many other corners of the internet that skew towards a female userbase, it's quite disturbing how many women who pride themselves on being progressive and forward thinking will immediately default to accusations of inceldom, repressed homosexuality and claiming that men they personally do not like have small penises or are short (which is body shaming by the way, but when confronted on this, they will say its not really about small penises or about being short, it's about the way these men behave...because it completely makes sense to talk about something entirely unrelated in someone's physical looks in order to call out their behavior), and even seems to transcend to real life with grown adult women who are somehow so socially stunted that they throw toddler level tantrums simply from being approached by a man...in a public place...in broad daylight.

So, my question is, has anyone else noticed this pattern of behavior growing more and more common these days? And if so, what could be the cause? Why do women seem to randomly want to "humble" men or intentionally make men feel bad in contexts were no creepiness or ill will was reasonably shown by the man? Are women at large simply rejecting treating men with politeness? Is there something that men as a whole have done to earn this treatment? What can potentially be done to change or fix that in that case?
