Sometimes I just hate some men.

Appalling.
God forbid a woman would be allowed to find peace, wellness and success in her own life.

I agree with everyone. If I leave dh over anything, it will be his refusal to acknowledge the huge inequality towards women and his refusal to stand up and say no. He’s never do anything like this but it’s not enough. Like it’s not enough to be not racist, we need to be actively anti racist-should be the same with equality. My brother is horribly abusive to every female in his life -I am non contact with him.

Some men? I'm another one who hates most men most of the time. I look at little DD and wonder what kind of world have I brought her into where I'm already thinking about what kind of self-defence classes would be best for her to take.

Me too, and I worry about my DD but also hugely about my sons. I can think of so many women that I would love my DD to grow up and emulate. Maybe it's just my family, but I in know far fewer straight men that I'd love my sons to become like.

How bloody dare he

So sad and so terrible. It fucking drives me insane that society accepts this view of women being hormonal in a world in which the overwhelming majority of violent crime is committed by men; and for millennia, agricultural and domestic male animals are routinely castrated because they are unmanageable and/or dangerous when entire. I don’t advocate castration for men but let’s have a bit more honesty and action around male violence.

This is a really good point which had never occurred to me before.
