It is unacceptable for me to feel that I don’t like men?

Yeah as we can see from this thread when women don't like men they want to avoid them/could happily live in a woman's commune/not date them

When men don't like women they want to be around them ALL the time to assert their dominance/over power them/distress them

That's really quite fucking different

I don't hate men as a class. I have been lucky enough to work with some decent blokes and to have some very good male friends.

I don't like writing off entire groups of people anyway. Everyone is an individual.

I see what you mean about the roles being reversed but typically men dislike women in such a different way to women disliking men that you almost can’t compare it.

I like men, I just couldn't eat a whole one.

You can not be wrong in how you feel.

Your feelings are your feelings

But maybe don’t broadcast it at work as it might be used against you somehow

Yanbu. Keep having these conversations with friends and then realising some of them have sons! Many of them are in agreement with me in spite of this.

There are many men I like on an individual basis. As a collective, they are a massive problem.

Be careful who you have these conversations with would be my advice.

Being in the company of heterosexual couples is often an awful experience cos the woman all too often takes a conversational back seat, or gets talked over by her partner, or holds back, seems not fully present. As a lesbian used to mixing with mostly women, it's a tedious experience being around men/straight couples

I’m with you OP. I don’t like me per se, the way they behave ans expect women to pick up the slack etc but have male friends who I like and a boyfriend who is lovely. However in general no I don’t like them. I just can’t say it out loud.

Sigh

I hate men who ask "do you hate men?"

Impressive honesty there, @FifteenToes. Refreshing.

I think when 93% if violence is perpetrated by men and when so many women experience misogyny it's fine to hate men as a class.

Not unreasonable to hate most men, given how you react and respond.

I don't like men as a class. I have some individual men who are in my family, but I would not share a home with a man. I find them boring and not of my tribe, which is women. I should say I'm a lesbian but I have some single heterosexual female friends who prefer the company of women too.

As Mindy said in Emily in Paris "they can't police your thoughts, Emily. I'm from China. They tried that".

I don't like men either, and I find this quite hard to reconcile with my conscience, because I have a son who I adore, and I'd cut off any man that said he "didn't like women" - it would be the biggest red flag ever to me, so I don't know why I hate sexism so much but am fine with Misandry.

I dislike men very much but I wouldn't dream of telling anyone at work that because it's work and I act prpfessionally, they don't know anything about my social life, politics or religion either. I'd be asking why they are asking such a question.

I suppose from my point of view, I have experienced things and seen things that make me feel that, without saying it, generally men don’t like women either. I take your point though.

There are for sure men who actively dislike women, which I would say is a bad thing - not necessity in a culpable way but something ideally one could get over. Also there are men who just don't relate much to women which I'd say is more neutral.

I don't think I'd say that it was generally true that men don't like women.

I don’t think anyone would know from observing me that I feel this way. And I don’t mean it in a hateful, malicious way either. I just realised the other day that this is honestly how I feel.

You didn't give the impression of being malicious, no worries about that. But I'm not sure it's that useful a sentiment, much like a feeling of liking or disliking any other group of people it can cut you off from people you might quite like, and it can be negative if it affects relationships.

Personally, I find men a little easier to get to know than women, and I've worked in male dominated areas, so I've tended to have a lot of male friends. I find them different than women as a group, but worthwhile friends.

Equal amounts of my most favourite people are women and men.

Far more of my least favourite people are men.

Why do so many people think it's reasonable to group all men together? If you said you didn't like black people it would be unacceptable so whys this any different?

How would you feel if someone disliked your son or brother because they were a man? It's not ok.
Fine to be more cautious while you get to know men but disliking them purely on gender feels wrong to me.
