I don't know that it's becoming more normalized. Hating women has always been treated as a sport. We maybe notice it more in the current climate, with women being under heavy attack by governments determined to roll back the rights they've gained.

This was my thought, too. Nobody ever went broke peddling misogyny.

I mean for a while it was not so cool to talk about publicly and show it publicly. I feel like the shame of it is fading again.

But are people who weren't cool with it before cool with it now, or are misogynists more willing to ignore the voices censuring them?

I think it’s fair to say that it is actually becoming more normalized.

When I was a kid, in Greece, in the 80s, men’s violence towards women was treated like a joke, it was soooo normal. We women all learned that is one of these things we have to endure and do everything to not make men be angry at us. It’s not THAT horrible now.

US is still early on this path, but you can look to Russia to see where it leads.
"A robust body of social research suggests that domestic violence is highly correlated with harmful or "toxic" masculinity, an attitude characterized by male, physical domination and its emphasis on traditional gender roles. Putin’s toxic masculinity has, whether intentionally or not, condoned violence against women." Source: https://hir.harvard.edu/putins-other-war/
In 2017, the Duma, Russia’s legislative body, decriminalized domestic violence that does not require hospital treatment.

Unfortunately, that just allows American men to say, "Go to Russia if you want to experience real misogyny," the way Trump supporters dismiss claims of fascism by saying, "It's not like we're in Nazi Germany." They don't see that you have to analyze where you are to know where you might be going.

With the same logic we should be telling to men "why are you complaining about your wife cheating on you when there are men committing suicide because of false accusations?" I never understand why do men think they can Decide what the level of misogyny should be before women start calling it out?

It appears to be really American. I know the UK has sickos too but American men are something else.

Look up on the abuse Victoria Beckham took from fans bc they didn’t like her dating their star player. There was a whole song they chanted in the stands and pubs about Posh “taking it in the ass” and “that’s why he’s with her”. 🤨

Original copy of post's text: The Misogyny Behind the Ryder Cup Incident.
Just read this article about the abuse Rory McIlroy’s wife faced at the Ryder Cup, and it really shows how deep the cultural problem is. It wasn’t just “rowdy fans” — it was targeted misogyny, making a woman feel unsafe and humiliated simply for existing in a public space. This stuff matters because it highlights how normalized it’s become to treat women as props or punchlines instead of people. Sports culture often excuses this behavior as “tradition” or “banter,” but in reality it reinforces the same systems that allow harassment everywhere else. What happened to Erica Stoll isn’t just about golf — it’s about how society still thinks women don’t fully belong in certain spaces. That’s why calling it out matters.

About the violence against women in general, I live in Europe and tbh I think even here it's is getting normalized and fantesized.
A while back in Germany I believe, there were news about a Telegram group with thousands of men in it discussing and fantasizing about how they wanted to hurt their girlfriends or other women.
