Why is it that so many men hate women?

I'm particularly bothered by the recent attack on the FEMALE Labour MP. And I'm increasingly disturbed by the number of women who suffer at the hands of the establishment who decree that women who are subject to appalling situations including rape, emotional/physical abuse are somehow, able to cope, able to maintain a sort of strange, odd equilibrium. Why is that? Why do the powers that be assume that women can just 'get on with things' ? I find it impossible to deconstruct.

Derxa, referring to jo cox in the way the op did isn't disgusting and disrespectful. What a strange way to see it.

It may or may not be that her killer was motivated by sexism as well as anti immigrant rhetoric, but op hasn't been disrespectful.

The title is why do so many men hate women. Nothing about all men. The DV, rapes and murders of women committed by men, the rape threats, catcalls, doxxing and dick pics are the disgusting and disrespectful matters.

"Why not ask "what is it that drives some men to hate women so much that they resort to violence and / or emotional abuse ?". That's a valid question with a myriad of answers."

This is the victim blaming statement you made upthread RLD.

And i bet in the case where a woman did hit a man you wouldnt be saying the same.

The title is why do so many men hate women. Yes that's a valid discussion but nothing to do with Jo Cox I feel. He murdered her because she was campaigning for Remain.

Fair enough that you feel it's not tl do with jo cox, but op's reference to her wasn't disgusting and disrespectful.

derxa do we actually know that? I think it sounds more like he is insane from reports to date.
I think that the sentiment behind the OP still stands.

RLD, nothing wrong with my comprehension. I think I understand very well indeed.
