Because there was a long period of women being oppressed.
I agree is hypocritical for people to be celebrating a woman’s right to openly declare all that stuff while mocking men, but we’ll probably be seeing that for a long while before it balances out. For too long women had to marry who their family chose, then stand by their man regardless of what he did or said (divorce was a sin or just unthought of!) and then you had women never being allowed to speak freely on anything because it was ‘unladylike’ but men still got to do and say whatever they wanted. Even during my younger years I experienced some of that stuff forced on me..”smile, be nice, don’t say this/that” So, while it’s unfair, it’ll continue to occur until women finally stop feeling the ripples of all those years of oppression and brainwashing. :)
