I was severely harmed mentally and physically by a girl a couple years ago, and the only people who gave me any comfort were my male friends. From my experience men have almost always been more kind and honest with me(Mainly speaking from personal experience here), so it really bothers me how so many people will just say shit like "I hate all men" so easily. Like honestly, fuck off. My best friend gets really bothered by this "It's okay to hate men" mentality too, I know it's fucked with him mentally.
I wish people would just grow the fuck up and realize that hating a certain gender isn't a fucking personality trait. Odds are, if you think like this, you're the problem, not the gender you hate.
Edit: People think I hate women now? Nope, I love and hate all genders equally, I just see a lot more hate for men than women on social media, and I hate that mentality.
Edit 2: I just got a massive DM from a terf calling me everything under the sun because of this post. Definitely hurts.

Reading the comments pissed me off, ffs they’re saying that the hate is somewhat justified.

And then there's the "we just hate the patriarchy!".
Yeah, your conspiracy theory that doesn't exist and that you can use any time you want to blame individual men if, say, you're fired because YOU are extremely lazy at work. It's your boss that is a sexist servant of the evil patriarchy! I've seen that too often to count. The patrairchy is just, like gender roles, another convenient ghost they use to say "yeah but it's not about men as a whole" while still using it any time it's required to make a point about men as a whole, "because it's the patriarchy that made men like that" or whatever else.

The OP is being agreeable. I get though we have to take little steps. If intersectionality worked for women it could work for us. So you hate men? Does that mean you hate native, poor, discriminated young boys?
Use their logic.

They have been walking that back over the years. They focus almost exclusively on white males today.

You may see that more clearly if i you are white. I do hear that a lot and tell people that’s racist as fuck. White people need to stop being ok with it but not fight back with race but with a consistent message of “you are judging me based on my skin not on my individual actions.”

Well said.
I personally appreciate all of this sort of behavior in people. I could write a book about why. But it is easy to size people up these days in just a few minutes of conversation.
As it turns out, the people who hate others tend to find each other.
All you have to do is learn how to avoid being harmed by this. And that is not too difficult.

You need a man to make a woman. Why hate men?

Saying you have men doesn't mean you hate all men. "Men" is the plural of man, if you hate men all it means is you hate at least two men. Which I am sure all of you do as well.
