Females are not real people, in the minds of virtually all males. There is statistical evidence.. E.g. When asked to vote for a fellow student, boys "couldn't" vote at all if there was no male candidate. Adult males feel the same about female politicians: It isn't impossible to vote for them, but far easier and 'more natural' to vote for a fellow male.
A giant survey in Canada discovered that male orthopaedic surgeons prioritised other males, so males got quicker and better treatment than female patients. Meanwhile, the female surgeons' results and records proved no bias at all.
The woman who was dumped, with the kids, when her husband found another woman, and who resented it, used the only method of revenge available to her, when she poisoned some in-laws in Australia: That single case got worldwide, obsessive, attention. Meanwhile, every day and in every country, men kill women for daring to leave them. It is so commonplace nobody bothers toremark upon it. i.e. She was his possession, and had no right to escape her owner.
And, for males, there are hundreds of ways to kill females, including bare hands. They can and do use poison, in roughly the same numbers as women do, but for women, their 'role' is to prepare and serve food to their owners and the children of their owners, so it is deeply disturbing to the 'correct' world view, if even one uppity women thinks she can deny her proper duties and obligations.
A lot of the hostility to women having reproductive control comes from the same standardised world view. that males have autonomy, and females have servility.
