The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as you want to be treated, but what reason do low SMV men have to be nice and gentlemanly to women or anyone for that matter, when they are going to be treated like dogshit? The implication is that you can at least expect the same treatment in return, if not, more. Okay, so what are the implications of realizing this fact? On a cost analysis basis, being a gentleman and being nice can take a lot of effort on your part if you aren't a naturally kind soul to begin with, thus, why bother going the extra mile for women who aren't going to give you any benefits for it regardless? There's no real incentive from a utilitarian point of view because the outcome in interpersonal success isn't changing. Why is this problematic? Well, this is how you breed 'misogynists' and assholes when women aren't incentivizing the correct behavior.
