Was Greer Right When She Said Men Hate Women?

I have just skim read The Female Eunuch and like everyone else, the stand out line to me was that men hate us but we aren't aware of the extent, and neither are they!!

Do you think this is true?? My DH, my late father and my brother, all immensely like/d and love/d the women in their lives. I hate to think it is true, but if it is, I want to know! I want to know my enemy.

Do they completely lack analytical, cogent, precise and logical thinking skills, or what? For men to HATE one half of the human race, based on nothing whatsoever apart from other thick men telling them to, tells me they are exceptionally half-baked, insensate and unintelligent.

Men transfer their stuff onto women, as do enslaved women.

It doesn't mean that every single man hates women. It's about how patriarchy and male privilege embed themselves into men (yes all of them) and how this manifests to greater and lesser degrees.
Your male family members surely love you a lot. Mine do to. But they don't view me exactly the way they view each other.

Upsetting content below -

Just today I read two stories that exemplify the extent of how this can manifest in the most toxic and hateful way. A teenager raped a 41 year old woman with a car jack. Extended it and killed her. The second story was another teenager who gave a young woman drugs and raped her as she was unconscious. He joked about not knowing if she was alive or dead when he came in her. He then left her to die because he was too tired to take her to A&E.

I'm sorry those two stories are so disturbing. They are just examples I read today. I don't think it's wise to turn away from news like this. We can't ignore what's happening to women all over the world.

Yes I believe it's true. As each year passes I become more convinced of its truth.

I think it was also Greer who said that "some men hate women all the time, but all men hate women some of the time"

I think this is true.

I have never FELT hated....maybe I am in denial! I have surrounded myself with amazing, loyal women and a DH who happily declares he dislikes other men and likes women a whole lot more!! So I find it hard to agree with Greer but something tells me she is right and I am wrong!!

I think it's true.

Plus I also agree that alot of women hate women too.

Society loves sheep

If You aren't a sheep you are hated.

Men and women hate us, we are the scapegoats. Some hate more than others, many are unaware.
