Funnily enough, my partner is Italian. But he is possibly the least Italian man I've met. He definitely had some misogynistic social conditioning buried deep inside of him when we met, but he realised that himself. Which kind of shows that anyone can unlearn these toxic norms and change, regardless of how misogynistic the culture they were brought up in was. The problem is many men realize it and simply don't want to do that. And why would they, if those norms work in their favor?
