Men aren’t angry because they realized women want Chad. They’re angry because they realized they aren’t Chad.

Let’s face it: testosterone is a hell of a drug. It can make you see
god himself when you look in the mirror. That innate ego mixed with
social conditioning makes most men view themselves as the best of them
and overestimate their feats (see ‘The confidence gap’). Any
threat to the contrary might as well be a threat to their manhood (and
any threat to their manhood might as well be a threat to their life).

“Chad” is a name to describe the quintessential male- the alpha of
the pack- the peak of manhood. Basically, the best man. Before men of
the manosphere had to accept that women are attracted to these men
(something they all inherently knew), they had to first accept
something absolutely shattering: they’re not him. They are not the
best. They are lesser men. And they’ve been lying to themselves
their entire lives.

Very understandably, most men cannot accept this. It goes against
nature, really. Testosterone won’t even “let” someone accept
such a defeat. So while they’re logical enough to admit that
“Chad” is desirable to women, they don’t have it in them to
accept the implications. For this reason, many men choose to believe
that “Chad” is simply what _women_ consider to be the best, and
that they’re obviously malinformed. Other men, to lessen the
embarrassment of thinking too highly of themselves, choose to believe
that women as a whole lied to them about what they desired, and that
they couldn’t have helped their false views. Anything to not come
face to face with the fact that they’re not the men they thought
they were.

In conclusion, it’s all deflection.
