It should also be noted that these emotions are not the same as hate, even though for many men it seems to land that way.

I routinely feel these things toward my child and my dog, and sometimes even my friends. Does anyone believe I hate them because of it?

I hate what men are choosing as how to present themselves. I hate how they're choosing extremist versions of Masculinity to everyone's detriment, including their own. I will definitely point out to you just how blisteringly dumb it is if you flap that shit in my face expextinf me to go along with or validate your drama. Hell has not frozen over yet.

But. Men have the same rights of choice as everyone else. More than others, in point of fact. They get to make their own choice.

But if you do, be prepared for the consequences, mainly loss of respect and aloneness because countless other women alongside myself will not want to have anything to do with you. We're not going to prop you up just for you to use and discard us.
