How to deal with men who try to hurt me or put me down just to feel superior or for their ego.

@sahi81 That’s exactly it. They want to control the narrative, make you constantly defend yourself while they get to do whatever they want without consequences. It’s pathetic. And the fact that they turn on each other the moment their egos get bruised? Just proves how weak they really are. You don’t owe them explanations, and you don’t have to play their twisted little games. Let them destroy themselves while you walk away with your dignity intact.
