Women.

Misogyny is extremely widespread and socially acceptable.

Add men to the list.

Misandry is also extremely widespread and socially acceptable.

IMHO both groups have bad apples. In conservative societies, women are often mistreated. In modern/contemporary societies men are often misstreated.

adult men are treated fine in modern societies, it's boys/teenagers who are feeling increasingly out of place and are turning to misogyny as an outlet

Oh bad people can come from anywhere, what a salient observation.

By every important measurable standard, women are still treated worse in contemporary society. The fact you would respond with this nothing take when someone brings up misogyny is incredibly telling. Wishing well to any women unlucky enough to be in your life.
