No, they hate the way so many men treat them, talk down to them, sexualize them, and discount their very real concerns and life experiences. They don't like how masculine culture has taught guys from boyhood to do that, but it's not the same as hating men. Most women know at least some guys who don’t act that way, and they sure don’t hate them simply for being men. Why does anyone have the expectation that people who are treated badly should be "nice" about it? I’m nice to people who are nice to me and who treat me well, but I’m not nice to those who don’t. Masculine culture is a huge problem that drives violence against women — but also against other men. Pretending it’s not the problem is the actual problem. Being defensive and pissy about talking about improvements that need to be made in the culture is another one.
(The above report was researched and written primarily by men, btw)
And while we’re at it, why are so many men so overly identified with their socialization as if that has anything to do with who they actually are?
