Came over this book reading the wikipedia article on misandy.
Here's a quote from it
Given the reality of women's oppression, male privilege, and men's enforcement of both, it's hardly surprising that every woman should have moments where she resents or even hates "men".
This is from page 107 of the book and can be read here.

One critical review
I don't know what's more ironic, that a man who writes stuff like "it's hardly surprising that every woman should have moments where she resents or even hates 'men'" would style himself as negative towards sexism (filled, as the book is, to the brim with some of the most shockingly unapologetic, openly discriminatory language and fallacious reasoning I've seen in my entire life), or that many of its outspoken readers (whom one would think would be abhorred at the idea of embracing sexism) applaud it.
One wonders how well-recieved someone saying the opposite would be? Our culture primes us to ignore discimination against males to the point where we don't get the same "that's discriminatory" gut feeling from seeing it as we do when it victimizes women. "It's hardly surprsing that every man should have moments where he resents [all] women." Sounds different, doesn't it?
Though it's not really surprising, considering the topic of gender discrimination tends to attract chauvinists from both sides of the divide. It would be unreasonable to expect the female ones to be any more clear-headed than the males... though that particular brand of bigotry evidently enjoys a lot more tolerance, which some might argue makes it more dangerous.
