Why can’t we hate men?
Washington Post ^ | June 8, 2018 | Suzanna Danuta Walters

Posted on 06/12/2018 5:16:09 AM PDT by outpostinmass2

It’s not that Eric Schneiderman (the now-former New York attorney general accused of abuse by multiple women) pushed me over the edge. My edge has been crossed for a long time, before President Trump, before Harvey Weinstein, before “mansplaining” and “incels.” Before live-streaming sexual assaults and red pill men’s groups and rape camps as a tool of war and the deadening banality of male prerogative.

Seen in this indisputably true context, it seems logical to hate men. I can’t lie, I’ve always had a soft spot for the radical feminist smackdown, for naming the problem in no uncertain terms. I’ve rankled at the “but we don’t hate men” protestations of generations of would-be feminists and found the “men are not the problem, this system is” obfuscation too precious by half.

But, of course, the criticisms of this blanket condemnation of men — from transnational feminists who decry such glib universalism to U.S. women of color who demand an intersectional perspective — are mostly on the mark. These critics rightly insist on an analysis of male power as institutional, not narrowly personal or individual or biologically based in male bodies. Growing movements to challenge a masculinity built on domination and violence and to engage boys and men in feminism are both gratifying and necessary. Please continue. But this recognition of the complexity of male domination (how different it can be in different parts of the world, how racism shapes it) should not — must not — mean we forget some universal facts.

Pretty much everywhere in the world, this is true: Women experience sexual violence, and the threat of that violence permeates our choices big and small. In addition, male violence is not restricted to intimate-partner attacks or sexual assault but plagues us in the form of terrorism and mass gun

“We don’t allow comments that degrade others on the basis of gender, race, class, ethnicity, political beliefs, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability or other classifications.” This editorial also violates Washington Post’s own guidelines.

The WP had a minor error--they forgot to add the footnote:

Note: "Others" does not include straight white men.

Toss in the possibility she was sexually abused, molested, or raped.
...she did not even consider the good things men have done in her one sided screed. Not to mention that at least one chromosone she got is from a MAN.

Not a balanced viewpoint at all. It is possible her thinking is biased due to wretched anger and retribution.

It’s Northeastern in Boston, isn’t it? Not Northwestern, wherever that is.

My response "Why can't we hate women"? Seems just as rational as someone wanting to hate all men for the misdeeds of a few.

This says it all to me and why I will never take someone like her seriously.

She’s a what? A sl-t? You made me laugh. She’s more like an irrational, irrelevant, illogical frau-frau.

Men are bigger.
Men are stronger.
Men are better at STEM.
Men are better at violence.
Women have suffrage not because they won it, but because men gave it to them.
Keep on pushing, ladies. Keep on hating.

“So men, if you really are #WithUs and would like us to not hate you...”

Sorry, I really can’t be bothered whether a bunch of feminists who have chosen to side with the enemies of society hate me. The best part is, more and more men, even those on the left of the political spectrum, are finding their “give-a-damn” meter is broken when it comes to these insufferable wenches.

“That is the way it has always been.”

Well, not for women. They haven’t had to learn that because they have had the luxury of men taking the beatings for them.

Note to this author:

Sweetie: You can hate whomever you wish. I don’t give a rip.

However, I MUST remind you-—without a man, YOU would NOT be here on the earth to squeal about your hate.

You are right, it was Northeastern. Thanks for the correction.

What One Professor’s Case for Hating Men Missed
A gender-studies scholar penned an essay laying out the logic of such loathing—but it falls short of its mark.

Danuto is not unique in today’s social environment. Her kind have propagated feminist brainwashing and policies into business, academia, politics and religion.

Compare the women we see today to the women of the ‘60s and before. Hideous.

Look at what fatherlessness has done to the young men. Useless, effeminate, and quite a challenge to get their heads straightened out and get them back to work again.

Danuto also wrote _The Tolerance Trap: How God, Genes, and Good Intentions are Sabotaging Gay Equality_. What a witch.
