To hate most men?

[Carlie97]

I'm not speaking about the whole male population, of course, but they're so pig ignorant. Sexist, bullish with disgusting habits. I'm currently sat in a cafe and a man, looks to be in his 60's is doing that deep throaty sniff in and sneezed so loud, I almost choked on my fish. Then there are the men who spit in public. Earlier I endured a man constantly sniffing on the train for half an hour. Women are like this too, but men are far worse. Enduring these men is a daily occurrence.

Me too. Perhaps we’ve just been lucky.

Here's some uplifting stats for the UK:
"In 2023/24, males accounted for 84% of arrests (approx. 604,000) compared to 16% (113,853) for females. Men are the perpetrators in the vast majority of cases. The vast majority of both male and female victims are killed by men. While women commit fewer, less violent crimes, they are often punished more severely relative to the nature of their offenses compared to men, according to some studies. Female offending is often driven by theft, shoplifting, and fraud, whereas male offending is more likely to involve violence or sexual offenses."

Great point. How anyone has the energy for hating every other person alive is beyond me.

How is this deranged? It's empassioned and frustrated but there's no sign of derangement in this list of actual experiences.

Should women not be livid and frustrated at how they are treated? I speak as someone who posted earlier strongly disagreeing with the OP that we should hate all men - and I still think it is no help whatsoever to assume AMALT.

But I nodded right through that list of behaviours. Similar events - and more - have happened to me. When the Me Too campaign happened I made a list out of interest and gave up after recording over 70 things. I only treated the flasher who flashed at us teen girls every single morning on the way to school for years as a single event otherwise it would run into hundreds.

I know which behaviour mentioned above I'd consider deranged and it isn't the justifiable anger of this poster. Nor is she the one who needs to get help.

But most men haven't done any of these things. Why not just hate bad men?

I don't hate most men and I can't imagine what it would be like to have this much hatred. I think people who hate men need therapy.

It’s the entitled men that need the therapy. I’m old and I’ve met many awful men in my life. You’re lucky if you’ve managed to avoid them.m

We call this patriarchy chicken. It's eye opening.

Absolutely. Women who aren't at all keen on men just avoid them where they can.

I agree with this 100%.

YABU. The majority of men are not disgusting pigs. And those are have been raised by a terribly. Look for the positives in people and not fave value

I just had to reply to this - I am well past menopause, well past 50 - and I never fell out of love with my late husband. You obviously picked the wrong man.

Also wary.

When men hate women, they behave in a way that lets us know about it. They do dreadful, ghastly things to us, leading us to fear them, or at least be wary of them. When women hate men they . . . er . . . mmm . . . oh yes, they moan about it on the internet! How very dare they!

Yes. 'Most men' are, by definition, not all of them. Most though.

Tell me ~ when you were eleven, on the bus in your school uniform, and a man walked past plenty of seats in order to sit next to you? When he put his hand on your thigh and squeezed it? And moved it upwards and squeezed again? What did you do? Of course this didn't happen to you because you were a boy! You know nothing about this subject.

Usual selection of butthurt men telling on themselves, pick mes, and deluded "not my Nigel" types in the comments here I see.

God forbid women call out the disgusting misogyny men display all over the Internet, the actual threatening and violent behaviour of men in real life, or even just the low level sexism or weaponised incompetence of so many of them. So disrespectful.
Stop telling us we're wrong. We aren't wrong. Stop telling us we're vile and hateful for just daring to TALK about shitty men
Trying to silence women in one of the very few corners of the Internet we have that isn't overrun by men?
You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Seriously. Fuck off!
