Why do men hate us so much?

[niadainud]

Just off the top of my head, in no particular order:

Incels
Afghanistan
Excessively patriarchal religions where women are totally subservient
Using sex workers
Human trafficking
Domestic violence
Rape
Low-level sexism
Andrew Tate, etc.
Erosion of women's rights including, but not limited to, transactivists
Shitty dating behaviour such as ghosting and negging
Drag / "womanface"

Yes, I know some of the above can be perpetrated by women, but it's usually men, isn't it?

You're most welcome. If you would like to learn more, please let me know. I'd be delighted.

They are terrified of the tender emotions which women represent to them. They revile compassion and empathy. They know those feelings make one vulnerable, and vulnerability (which they consider weakness) is their biggest fear.

Men hate women because other men hate women. From cradle to grave they are bombarded with examples of masculinity in which contempt for women is an integral part. For some reason men are more conformist than women and tend to easily take on other men's attitudes, and those attitudes are very rigid about what it means to be a man- invulnerable, sex obsessed, angry, exploitative, low empathy, contemptuous of all the tender emotions and of the other sex which represents those emotions. "Don't be such a pussy, man." is something no man wants to hear.
This explains why so many men think that if they aren't the perfect example of "tough" invulnerable masculinity, they must be women.

I suspect there is also an inborn element to it, some combination of testosterone and possibly a flaw in the Y chromosome.

At any rate, I think it's not worth much analysis, because it's like asking why murderous psychopaths kill. They kill because that's the way they are. They aren't going to change.
Men hate women because that is the way they are and they aren't going to change, except possibly to get even worse.

Mind you, there are varying degrees to their misogyny. Perhaps you'll find a mate who is low in it and be satisfied with that. You won't find one with none. It's a big part of why I prefer having no partner.

There was a post on here, I think within the last 2/3 months and I thought it was the most brilliant summation of the lesser male I had ever read. I consider myself someone with a lot of thought but very, very poor at articulating stuff. I will search for it, I thought it summed it all up concisely, maybe someone knows what I am referring to?

@Newgirls yes that is the point

If we consider that males use displaced aggression towards other males on females as.part of a status play then addressing the problem may include questioning males' status games, cultural definitions of success/virtue.

Nature/nurture will never be settled, I would say both have impact and it's worth trying to address the latter.
