Except....these men, as we've stated, are scum of the Earth.

As a social worker I've had dealings with some pretty horrid men, and it's not uncommon IN THE SLIGHTEST to hear them talk about "putting women in their place" via domestic abuse or coerced sex (including one gentleman who ended up jailed after making threats of exactly that sort towards me). Rape is a relatively "easy" thing for a man to do to completely take a woman apart. That's what these men want to do to the women who can destroy them. Imagining themselves doing it would, in the real world, reinstate their masculinity, emotionally. In the psyches of these sort of people getting your ass kicked by a (Bat)man simply means you're weak. Therefore, fantasies of breaking his kneecaps work fine. Getting your ass kicked by a woman, though, means you've been emasculated. And what better was is there to reinstate your masculinity than using the thing you have that no woman does?

So, yeah. I don't think it's particularly out of place to hear thugs like this talk this way. Sadly, this reads less as misogyny and more like...reality.

+1 Unfortunately, this.

I suppose, in a way, I can therefore see the point that many people are making: that they don't WANT that sort of reality in a video game.

Personally, I find it quite enjoyable to beat the thugs in question up. Some people want their escapism to not have that sort of thing in it. I rather enjoy that my escapism has that sort of thing, and lets me do something about it that would be quite illegal in the real world. \^-^v
