I work with children and see windows into many home lives through what they say.
There are sadly a lot of boys who are exposed to terrible male role models and in turn speak horribly to their mothers, riding roughshod over them. This sets a pattern of learned behaviour which is carried out against the girls at school, female teachers and then out on the streets later in life. Domestic violence and coercive control are rife.
It's easy to blame social media, but this starts at home and needs parents to either do better or explicitly point out to their sons how they should be acting. 'That's not normal' is a good starting point to change the outlook of someone.
