Why can’t we hate men?
Washington Post ^ | June 8, 2018 | Suzanna Danuta Walters

Posted on 06/12/2018 5:16:09 AM PDT by outpostinmass2

It’s not that Eric Schneiderman (the now-former New York attorney general accused of abuse by multiple women) pushed me over the edge. My edge has been crossed for a long time, before President Trump, before Harvey Weinstein, before “mansplaining” and “incels.” Before live-streaming sexual assaults and red pill men’s groups and rape camps as a tool of war and the deadening banality of male prerogative.

Seen in this indisputably true context, it seems logical to hate men. I can’t lie, I’ve always had a soft spot for the radical feminist smackdown, for naming the problem in no uncertain terms. I’ve rankled at the “but we don’t hate men” protestations of generations of would-be feminists and found the “men are not the problem, this system is” obfuscation too precious by half.

But, of course, the criticisms of this blanket condemnation of men — from transnational feminists who decry such glib universalism to U.S. women of color who demand an intersectional perspective — are mostly on the mark. These critics rightly insist on an analysis of male power as institutional, not narrowly personal or individual or biologically based in male bodies. Growing movements to challenge a masculinity built on domination and violence and to engage boys and men in feminism are both gratifying and necessary. Please continue. But this recognition of the complexity of male domination (how different it can be in different parts of the world, how racism shapes it) should not — must not — mean we forget some universal facts.

Pretty much everywhere in the world, this is true: Women experience sexual violence, and the threat of that violence permeates our choices big and small. In addition, male violence is not restricted to intimate-partner attacks or sexual assault but plagues us in the form of terrorism and mass gun

Timothy was on to something:

I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

Liberals are filled with hate. Without hate, they are empty vessels of despair.

I’m slamming the writer, not lesbians. Most lesbians I know are fine citizens, and often conservative.

I know some gay women who like men and enjoy their company, simply not in a romantic sense. How large of a proportion of them that is I have no clue.

I can honestly say that the ones that I know and call friends are certainly not like this hateful, pathetic, deranged woman.

She is an elitist academic. Today that seems to mean Marxist hater. I rarely have seen proof to contradict this view.

“She would be better off hating certain mens’ behavior.”

Like male Muslims, maybe? Oh- I forgot, no criticism of Islam from the Left. The two are allies, out to destroy Western civ.

Of course, Suzanna Danuta Walters, you can hate men.

You can do whatever you want. You can hate men, love men, of feel vaguely indifferent about men. It is your own choice, and nobody should dictate to you how you should feel.

Of course, the corrolary is that you should not get to tell me or anybody else what to feel.

She can hate men, but don’t be surprised if men hate back.

...

Men don’t hate back. Men have lives and jobs and responsibility. Hating back is a chick thing. Men ignore and, if pressed, will either mock or rebut. If physically threatened, men will fight. But they won’t hate. Hate is for small people.
