dealing with male centred-ness

Has anyone else had to deal with a lot of male-centred-ness even from friends and partners?

i’ve been in two relationships in my life, both 3+ years, one with a bi woman and my current one bi/ace. Both have criticised me for being too “man hating” over stuff like not going out of my way to consume media about men and saying i dont particularly want to be friends with men?

I just dont understand why it is an issue… everyone knows I am a lesbian, everyone knows men are unpleasant, me and my current gf know multiple people (all male) that we used to be friends with who are either incels or predators. she said i should care about movies about men because “men are people too”?? both her and my ex have said things like “oh i forgot u only care about movies/shows with lesbians in them 🙄” and like yes? I am a lesbian lol. Why is that an issue?

Even weirder, i have male friends, I have a brother, Im nice to my male coworkers, I get on with my stepdad. I don’t think i’m extreme at all but apparently my views are unpopular even with people I am close to (and even other ssa women??)?

has anyone else had to deal with this?? i just find it so bizarre?
