I don’t hate men. I like a lot of men. I have a strong distrust of men. I’m in a world where if I am hurt by a man, my choices would be to pretend it didn’t happen or suffer negative consequences (some long-lasting) while the offender gets a comparative slap on the wrist, if anything at all. It is not always obvious which men will be a perpetrator, and there are so many of them. However, I don’t let my caution become hatred. I completely understand the women that do, though. The men that hate women seem to do so because they are trying to make their own decisions, like deciding who they are open to sleep with, deciding how they would like to style themselves, or deciding what career they want. One is a matter of safety and being in charge of your own well-being. The other is a matter of control of someone else.
