Potentially, but a lot of bigotry is a response to trauma. It makes sense and it's hard to work around, but wife beaters were often beat as kids, child abuse victims are more likely to be rapists and conflict related trauma perpetuates racism across the world. You can't tell people what to feel, and there is a grace period. But a negative coping mechanism can't be acceptable forever. Most people's negative actions have very understandable reasons behind them. Nobody wants to be a villain, but if you throw your hands up in the air and say nothing we can do about it then the world doesn't get better. And I think that creating a confrontational relationship between genders helps noone and ironically probably perpetuates the same misogyny that created trauma in the first place. How can you expect to have men listen to women when they're being placed as an enemy to them? It's one of those things where individually everyone's actions make sense but the collective outcome is really really negative.
