She doesn’t feel that way. She feels like she is surrounded by scummy males who just want to get laid and aren’t actually interested in her as a person. And constantly fending these men off is emotionally draining. Once she does fend them off, they aren’t exactly friendly any more, so she's surrounded by men who emotionally stunted and offended that she personally didn't respond to their advances.
If she were interested in bedding the most attractive males possible, then maybe. But what she actually wants is to build cool environmentally efficient buildings, and to do that she needs to pass her classes.
Well if she’s fending off men - why would they be friendly?
I’m not friendly to anyone who acts like an asshole to me.
Your daughter is also probably just not attracted to the overwhelming majority of those men. She’s probably quite picky. Very common with engineering women since they have endless options.
How would you feel about being in an environment where 75% of the people are mad at you because you didn’t want to get naked with them? Would you find that environment conducive to professional development?
At no point are the men getting mad at her or expressing that. They're not like, "Well fuck you, ya damn stupid cunty bitch." They're not doing that and you know they're not. If she just says no thank you then all they do is walk away feeling down. If instead she's super aggressive and an asshole about it like: "ew no, you fucking incel dweeb. Fucking die!" then maybe they have all the reason to be mad at her.
Doubt your daughter is going to be telling you when she acts like the later though.
The most basic way misogyny gets expressed is through the wholesale disregard of what women tell you if it doesn’t match your preconceived ideas.
I have chosen to believe my daughter (and, fwiw, my wife). You can say what you want, but this is what I am being told by two of the people I love and respect most in the world: it is exhausting and demoralizing to have to consistently wonder whether someone is being nice to you because they like you or because they want to sleep with you.
