This is something I notice CONSTANTLY. Men rarely have any manners. All people that cut me in lines, push me as they walk by, talk to me in a very impolite tone are men. And that's not a "me" problem where they are rude because I'm an asshole: they are rude even when I reciprocate nicely and unprovocatively. Of course there are men that are polite, but a very, very noticeable majority are barbaric assholes that do whatever they please without ever thinking how it affects other people.

Because they don't have the same bullshit socialization to be uncharacteristically "nice" all the time. They get butthurt because you, a stranger, won't smile at them. Yet it's totally fine and okay for men to be openly brash and uncouth. Patriarchy and double standard at it's finest.
Agree. And even when they were taught manners and exhibit them, I still don't trust them! One of the most "polite" men I knew was actually a foot-fetishy old scrote who obsessively followed young girls on TikTok. The manners were real, but they helped mask the underlying ick.
Men are always pushing their way into places where they aren't welcome.
I just spent at least two weeks ruminating on this. To me it's truly just because they get what they want faster and with less social obligation or effort, and nobody changes how they deal with them or holds them accountable for acting repulsively. My mom is only JUST now starting to understand this phenomenon is why she ended up with two completely different children - me, and my asshole brother as described above.
