How Is Hatred for Men Born and How Is It Manifested in Women?

Hatred of men - why are there some women for whom the whole male species is not only repulsive but even a real danger? How does this belief, repulsion, deep hatred appear in a woman, not only for a certain man - but for any man in the world, for the male sex?

Why do some women take the sex struggle too far, so far as to reverse the ancient ideas that proclaimed the man superior, the woman is now seen as clearly superior, while the man is just a "gorilla"? we refer to women who sometimes criticize and disregard male representatives (who have their reasons) - but to women who hate all men with all their being…

In some women, hatred of men is alarming - some ideas like that a man is the greatest evil, that a woman must escape the presence of men in her life to fulfill herself, that a man is just an irrational animal driven by lust and therefore dangerous - these ideas show the development of a real complex, an obsession.

Yes, women have suffered over time from discrimination against the dominant male - they have been called inferior, lacking in spirituality and even soullessness, lacking in rationality and hysteria, evil and witchcraft, prisoners of their lusts (today, the one dominated by lusts). is seen to be rather the man).

But does it justify these old preconceptions and the long-standing discrimination of women today against men? Does it justify intense, visceral hatred for every man?

Of course, not proclaiming a woman's superiority and presenting the man as an evil to be eliminated from a woman's life is as bad as the preconceptions about women in the past (which, unfortunately, few members of the opposite sex keep and today, giving water at the mill to women who hate all men)

An important idea: hatred of men has nothing to do with feminism! Yes, there are some feminists, who manage to be popular, who hate men. They write various cartoons, thus feeding women who want more reasons to disregard men.

I feed the minds of vulnerable (and not strong) women with childish ideas, such as that the man is irrational; that the man will inevitably deceive, for he seeks only his pleasure; being with a man means letting yourself be consumed, dominated, sabotaged, unable to develop as a human being; that the man is manipulating you and destroying your will and stealing your strength…

When and if something like this happens in a couple, isn't the woman responsible too - didn't she let herself be dominated, manipulated, sabotaged? Wasn't she too weak and unable to maintain some of her independence? Is it just the domineering man's fault, the selfish man's fault, the "beast's" man's fault?

Of course not - but women who feel a deep hatred for men subtly hide the responsibility of women who let themselves be dominated by being too weak, throwing everything on the man's shoulders.

Returning, feminism is essentially unrelated to hatred of men: feminism advocates for equality and not for women's superiority; feminism advocates for cooperation and understanding between the sexes and not for the elimination of men; feminism advocates for women's freedom to choose: to choose to be independent, single, and career-oriented, or to choose to be a wife and mother - a feminist does not hate men but wants them as equal partners.

A feminist can be a dedicated wife - there is no contradiction, as long as she has chosen this path and does not feel dominated or exploited. So let's get rid of the simplistic idea that hatred of men comes from feminist ideas (although, as mentioned, some extreme feminists hate men).

Another important idea: hatred of men has nothing to do with lesbianism! There may be lesbians who hate men - but in general, a lesbian is simply not physically and emotionally attracted to men, she may find them physically repulsive. But that's it! Most lesbians don't hate men - they're friends with them. I just don't want them as life partners or as intimate partners

Then where does the hatred for men come from? As has been said, the fact that there are still some misogynistic men, who treat women as inferior and as objects, who behave as superior, who behave disrespectfully, is an important factor; as is the existence and perpetuation of stereotypes and superficial labels of women in society: a woman is much more exposed, even today, to various labels (easy, frigid, stinging, hysterical, obsessed); moreover, unlike men, a woman is often judged according to her appearance and not what she hides and is successful when her appearance is favorable.

But does the persistence of discriminatory prejudice and labeling explain that visceral hatred towards men that we see in some women? To some women, who would be happy in the day when there would be no more men. For those women who are convinced that being alone is the only option to be fulfilled and independent.

To those women who would gladly annihilate a man, if they were free to do so. To those women whose disgust, repulsion, but especially anger in their eyes can be seen with the naked eye…

Maybe most of these women were simply hurt by a man - so hurt that their whole world changed and everything was different. So hurt that I can no longer trust any man, in any way, ever.

Wounded so much that they were forced, in order not to be destroyed, to build a defensive wall, a new image, and a new attitude of power, strength, and independence, which would mask their weakness, their pain and which would protect their whole life from another wound.

A woman betrayed, used, lied to, cheated on, abused by a man (not necessarily a boyfriend - maybe a father) may not recover, may think that any man will hurt her again at some point, maybe that he is building a defense, trying to be a stronger person, who will never suffer again.

Perhaps her anger, disappointment, sadness, fear, insecurity slowly turn into hatred for any man and the belief that only she can be safe, happy and fulfilled. Perhaps she is convinced that this is the truth, that she is the strongest, and that women who live with men are poorly dizzy; perhaps he finds more and more arguments for that hatred to become a philosophy of life, a solid faith. But maybe behind this belief is only fear, insecurity, and pain still alive…

A truly strong, self-confident, independent woman will accept men as equals and a suitable man as her partner - for despite the unpleasant past, despite differences, misunderstandings, even conflicts and criticisms between both sexes, women are made to love men, men to love women (of course, except those with a homosexual orientation).
