Nowhere in that article is Rhoda calling for the deaths of all men. She clearly states that her hatred of men is political and that an oppressed group has the right to hate the group that oppresses them.

She also states: "So now, every time I think, say, shout, scream, “I hate men”, I’m saying, I hate the system that these men have helped create, the system that benefits men, the system that lets men get away with everything they do to women."

Her hatred of men is an act of liberation. A way of freeing herself from the social constraints or mores of catering to the male gaze and caring what men think of her.

I think you need to ask yourself here why you're okay with the hatred all men feel toward women as part of your identity as a man but it's not okay for women to hate men as a way of freeing herself from at least some of the consequences of living as an oppressed group due to that hatred men have toward women. I'd say the hypocrisy of some of you men is astounding here but it's pretty ubiquitous.

And again, nowhere in this essay did she call for the deaths of all men or claim that her feelings are representative of Feminism. She said for her, it felt like a feminist act, becauae it's political.

So we've proven you've made a false claim about Rhoda. Either you have very low reading comprehension, you don't understand the difference between political "hate" and a deep desire for mass murder or annhialation, you didn't actually read what she wrote, you're so full of hatred toward women yourself you emotionally blowing up any criticism of men into a reflection of your own feelings toward women out of fear (you're projecting), or you're just trying to start some drama. Who knows?

I don't know what your problem is exactly and I don't care.

I do know there's nothing to see here.

What else have you got? Show me where feminists are calling for the deaths of all men. That's the claim. That's the charge. Show me some receipts if you want me to believe you. Try dropping the testerical conflation for next time. You might get more mileage.
