Why Do So Many Men Hate Women This Much
‘Why Do So Many Men Hate Women This Much?’: Startup Founder Calls Out Misogyny Online, Internet Joins Conversation
A discussion about sexism, online hate and the way women are spoken about on social media has sparked strong reactions online after a Swedish startup founder shared screenshots of a viral post about women and AI. The post was shared by Malin Frithiofsson, CEO of Daya Ventures, a femtech venture studio based in Sweden. Along with her message, she posted a screenshot of comments made by streamer Zack Hoyt, better known online as Asmongold, reacting to a post about AI and jobs.
The screenshot showed a post claiming that women’s jobs were created to show “fake parity" between men and women in workplaces and that AI would “fix" this. The post further suggested women should go back to “being a mother or being a prostitute." The remarks drew criticism from many people online, with several calling them sexist and harmful.
Malin Frithiofsson shared the screenshot on LinkedIn and spoke about how disturbing she found the comments and the support they received online. She wrote, “A man with an audience three times the population of Iceland posted this two days ago. 347K views. 22K likes. 880 reposts."
“The argument: women’s jobs were invented to fake parity. AI will fix that. After which women can go back to being mothers or prostitutes and I guess what I should be doing is commenting on the very real conversation being had right now, about AI’s threat to the workforce and how female-dominated roles are disproportionately in the crosshairs."
“But I’m tired, and instead I keep asking myself the same question lately: Why do so many men hate women this much?"
“This entire earth is literally just mothers and their children."
She also mentioned a recent CNN investigation about an online “rape academy" and compared it to the growing hate women face online. “Last month, I wrote about CNN’s investigation into an online rape academy. One site clocked 62 million visits in February alone. This month, a man with 1.2 million followers gets 22 thousand heart reacts for suggesting women belong in two categories: breeders or wh*res."
Malin also opened up about the abuse she personally faces online. “I wonder what it does to women seeing this every day. What its done to me. The literal death threats in my inbox, the ai generated undressing of my public images, the investor who last winter literally told me I dream about getting r*ped (!?)."
She ended her post with a line another woman had once told her. “A woman I didn’t know yet told me recently: we’re all just trying to walk each other home. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in a while."
“And it’s so sad that we all know exactly why we need the company."
As the LinkedIn post gained attention, many users shared their thoughts in the comments section. Several people criticised the remarks in the screenshot and spoke about sexism online and in workplaces.
A user wrote, “The fact that X is still used by many professional journalists and founders as their only social media interaction is SO problematic. I really wish men — specifically men who work in high profile positions — would abandon the platform entirely. Sexism and misogyny proliferates. Women simply aren’t safe posting there. Like, I know those guys will always be hateful (because the internet is where hateful men congregate), but the fact that legit news outlets still believe X is an authoritative barometer for anything related to factual information or general consumer sentiment is deeply disturbing."
Another wrote, “Imagine being such a catastrophic failure in life that you rant online about women having jobs, like a pound shop Andrew Tate. What a genuinely embarrassing little man."
“I wish I knew. Is it that the men are frustrated that we have more of a say? Or are men just more aggressive human beings and the absence of real war in many countries makes them not able to be their aggressive self? And that‘s not even meant in a mean way, I am really asking myself what‘s wrong with many men nowadays (or I guess, since the beginning of time)," a person said.
A user commented, “Unfortunately I can’t say I’m shocked, there’s been more and more hate discourse around lately (or it’s always been there, just took a while to reach my bubble). An open-ended and honest question though – why are the comments of your post written mostly by females? Why is that always the case, and how can we systematically change that?" Another comment read,
Another comment read, “Honestly, it’s exhausting. At least this guy is up front and easy to now avoid. The real struggle is in the bias lurking in the everyday workplace, that’s hidden but shows up in closed door conversations. Women, now more than ever, need to keep speaking up, keep supporting each other, and not tolerating this. Women also need to be investing even more time in AI, building, learning, and leading here. We need to be at the table and talking about how to use this tech responsibly."
