Seems like this subreddit has recently appeared criticising a lot of the toxic misogyny that is apparent among GenZ boys/men.

Shit like this thread gives a good example of the mindsets young women are dealing with among these guys: https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckYouZoomer/comments/1gv5pdl/date_with_a_typical_podcast_bro_brainrotted/

Maybe this isn't the space that will properly counter it, some of it is deeply reactionary, but there seems to be an energy and interest building in countering it now. Enough people seem to view it as a problem.

I gotta admire her sticking around after a couple of those lines, I would have gotten off that table and left him the tab.

Many people (especially afab) are raised to be agreeable and avoid conflict at all costs, and we just kind of freeze when someone says horrible shit in front of us. Took me until very recently to realize I can sometimes just walk away, and that I don't owe an explanation to anybody.

Besides, if I was her with someone this unabashedly incel, I'd try my best to not say/do anything that sends them over the edge and gives them cause to assault me.
