I am just going to throw this out there. Women often make comments about men that if a man had made about women, he would be labeled as misogynist, and it is seen as a non-issue.

Here is an example. A female facebook friend posted a video where a guy admits to cheating on his girlfriend a bunch of times. Another female responds with "men are trash". There was no backlash and she even got a couple likes. If a man had said something like this about women, he would be labeled as a misogynist and socially ostracized. But when a female makes such a comment, people just chalk it up to her being upset by something men did.

Another example. I literally just read an article on Huffington Post where the writer said this: "While this rule seems tried and true, it doesn't change the fact that it*seems like*the majority of single guys out there are, in fact, assholes." Again, imagine if this was a man saying this about single women.

So before you label your son as a misogynist, ask yourself if you would have the same concerns if you had a daughter who displayed a similar attitude towards men. If not, then perhaps it shouldn't be an issue?
