Women’s emancipation increased male hostility rather than reducing it.

Evidence

In 1973, in another interview with Schwarzer, Beauvoir observed the ugly transformations in men’s attitudes as women slowly shed some elements of their oppression: … Men have obviously changed. I think that the emancipation of women has actually made them more hostile towards women than they were; they have become more aggressive, more pushy, more sarcastic and more off ensive, than they were in my time. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 298
