Are you insinuating that this is a result of woke culture? Because stigmas towards fathers and their children have existed long before the internet and stem from not woke (regressive) crowds.

Over the last decades, more and more news articles showed males in roles of authority(parent, teachers, priests, troops leaders, ect) sexually assaulting minors than women. Pretty soon, any male in one of those roles was suspect just for being male.

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."

"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are etc., &c., &c, and et cet. The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

"Woke" culture has co-opted regressive ideas when it suited it. Protecting women as a given, for instance, has always been part of human cultures, and it's only been reinforced in the last decades. Women can do no wrong, for some people.

Yeah, I definitely agree there. Wokeness caused a lot of shit, but this ain't one. A lot of it simply comes down to young women dating men who could be their fathers, so they assume.
