View submission: R/Askmen discusses getting swarmed by women
I’m sure other guys can back me up on this, but growing up women have always been described as “indirect”. And at worst, that would often veer into “manipulative” and “dishonest”. Now in the era of very public gender war, you effectively have a situation where it’s “established” that women won’t tell you the truth.
People have been talking about the effect people like Tate have on men, but they have largely ignored how certain stereotypes have been turned into something people deeply believe in, courtesy of discourse, “testimonies” and a cocktail of clips

No one cares about Tate. He's a joke, and just like Trump He's a face that people can project into the personification of all evils associated with the other side.
Unattractive men are genuinely treated by women as if they don't exist. Short men, smaller boned men, men with bad skin... They feel overlooked. Unloved. Unlovable. Meanwhile, they see how women's issues often stem from an overabundance of attention. And that women can't relate to them. "It's probably your grooming or your attitude.".
It's no surprise that many men think most women are dishonest. It's what they experience, day in and day out. I'm waiting for my downvotes and perhaps even a few replies that totally don't rely upon the Just World fallacy.
