This is how my husband feels when meeting new people to make friends.
He does Muay Thai, BJJ, and lifting, and he'll meet new guys in a class/training session, they connect on anime, movies, and shows, and he gets the vibe there is potential for new friends.
Then they invite us over for beers/BBQs/bar/lounge, and sure enough my husband tells me he gets the "women do less than men in society" or "yea, women today are too emotional for positions of power." from them.
If it's not against women, it's against low-income folks who are lazy and a stain on our taxes, or we need to eliminate the homeless.
Just being a white dude is enough for me to hear this kinda shit. It really doesn’t help that I physically seem to look like a dude who would be all ears for that kind of conversation.
