I don't think I'll ever understand it. I can't think of any reason for it other than fear of change, of difference, of anything that threatens the position of insecure men (and some women) in the status quo. This position, despite what they like to tell you about the threats of wokery and secret liberal elites, is still one of overwhelming power and privilege.
