Yes, I am a male writing a review. Please do not hate on me for simply being born as one. I think both sides should be respected equally, but yes men do commit so many more violent and sexual actions than women do. I am terribly sorry for all of the women who went through this, and even if I do not experience any of the things women have, Í know it is terrible. Í have both men and women as friends, and I am attracted to both. I don’t see them primarily by their gender, whether they are male, female, non-binary, transgender, any other identification. I don’t and hope others don’t see a woman and just assume they are into girly things and hate men. Same for boys, not all of them hate girls or only love them to lust over them. We should stop discriminating women since it is the biggest problem, as well as other members of the LGBTQIA+, and even men. Í also do understand how women cannot view men the same as they did before, or view them as much lesser. I do not condone women hating men, since this is not solving sexism or reversing it, it is just in a different way. It’s like turning a faucet from hot which burns your hands to turning it to freezing where your hands are cold and uncomfortable. Sexism in both directions are both unhealthy and things that should never be condoned. Both of them deserve just as much respect. And even feminism itself isn’t bad at all. In fact, Í encourage women to stand for themselves and show what’s right. They should be fighting for equality and the end of violence and sexual abuse, not to hate on men and treat them like animals. There are still good men out there. Not all men are evil but yes, a lot of them are deeply flawed. Not all women are entirely good or bad either, it is mixed, just like men. We should not be striving for revenge, but for equality. They are both different things. Í don’t think it is ok for women to be discriminated against, but í don’t think it is ok for men to be hated on either just because you see an instance or even multiple instances of sexist men who hate women. Not all 4 billion men or so on this earth hate women. Í do believe that both sides of this comment section are biased, and even Í can confirm Í have a bit of bias as well. All of us are flawed but at different levels and in different ways, and to some extent people on both sides in this comment section and realize are wrong. This book overall gave me a new view on not just how women are treated, but what they think about men. The author also gave me an insight of discrimination, vulnerability, and unjust behavior of how men treat women. I feel sorry for anyone who has experienced discrimination by men and Í also apologize for some of these users in the comments to hate men just because they were victimized by men. Í think it is important to remember not all men are creeps, rapists, or misogynistic either. In fact, there are many other men who think sexism is totally wrong. The title of the book when Í first saw this was misleading, and I did think it was just someone who had trauma that hated all men due to seeing only SOME men in their lives. Ultimately, 'I Hate Men' challenges readers to reflect on gender dynamics and the complexities of modern feminism. While it provokes strong emotions, I believe it opens a necessary dialogue about equality that we must all engage in. I wonder how others think of this book.
