Man Hater Vs. Feminist (Part 1)

Why is it that man-haters are inclined to be considered of as feminists? They are two solely distinct entities. Let’s first tackle what man hater is.

If you tell people that you are a feminist, and most will assume that you are a man hater.

First of all, let us define man hater. It is simply hatred for boys, or misandry. The counterpart is called misogyny, the hatred of women or girls.

You seduce them and then dump them. And you often have a cruel smile of satisfaction as you stick the knife in with such classic parting lines as: "And by the way, I was sleeping with your best friend at the same time . . . and he was much better than you".

 

Man-haters invariably prefer the company of women, and will go out of their way to ridicule and crush men. They may lead men on until ultimately slapping them down.

They will also enjoy watching feminist comediennes who verbally castrate men, mocking their behavior and revealing the cracks of weakness in their facades.

These are all classic signs of a man-hater.

True, there are many women who hate men, and some of these women tend to call themselves feminists.

The reason why they hate men? Women become men-haters for many reasons. The first is usually based in childhood. Think about your family history - how aggressive were your parents with each other? What role models did they set you? Ask yourself how much of your behavior is a re-enactment of their patterns? Also question yourself about your relationship with your father. Do you act out some of the unresolved feelings you have towards him?

Another reason for man hating is the imbalance of the sexes. Some women feel envious of men - their opportunities, power, strength and privilege. Previous hurts can also be the cause: women who had early negative experiences (such as violent or forced sex) can feel so betrayed they seek their revenge.

Then there are some women who hate men to their very cores and men have good reason to fear their wrath. But we should not blame women: many men behave so badly towards women their hate is understandable. But whatever the cause, hate is destructive and both sexes need to work at breaking the prejudices.

Often men tend to get defensive when they meet a woman who calls herself a feminist. There is really no reason to. A feminist does not want to put men down in order to pull women up. What she wants is to create awareness of the fact that women deserve equal rights and opportunity as men.

We all agree that men and women are intrinsically different, and are the happier for it, but no sex is superior to the other. Men and women are all human beings, and as such deserve basic human rights and to be treated with dignity. No one should be discriminated against on the basis of their sex, race, religion, caste, color… While a woman does legally enjoy many rights, not many women are aware of these rights. Feminists fight for the recognition of these rights, and to increase awareness amongst women. For example, a woman cannot be fired because she is pregnant, and she is entitled to a certain amount of maternity leave without pay. If a woman fights for these rights, she is certainly not fighting against the dignity of man! She is simply fighting to enforce her rights as a human being.
