I find it annoying and off-putting the same way I find it annoying and off-putting when I hear a dude spouting hatred for women. I don’t think most of either group really hates the other sex either, I think they’re just not getting where they want with them. Incels aren’t getting laid, and “man-haters” aren’t finding good commitment. So their unfulfilled desires become resentment.
I mean, yeah, that asymmetrical social pressure exists because when men foster a resentment towards women, they’re far more likely to become violent about it than women are. Women kinda get the pass on misandry because there’s not much we think they’re gonna do about it other than post “I hate men.” on their instagram story.
It’s like how catcalling is way worse when a man does it to a woman walking down the street than when a woman does it to a man walking down the street. Every woman I know gets scared when a strange man hollers something sexual at her out of a car window. The man gets perceived as a threat, because he is one. I’ve been catcalled by a Jeep full of women while on a jog. That shit lowkey made my day, I didn’t perceive the girls as a threat at all. Men having a greater capacity for violence matters.
I’m just saying, in my personal experience, when I’ve seen women who are my friends post about hating men, it’s almost always just because of some failed situationship or a breakup. Which I think takes away some of the punch from that rhetoric when it is also used in the context of much more serious gendered issues like you’ve mentioned.
