I feel like men do this more than women. I feel like you're doing it now.

It is an unfortunate reaction to pain. Hopefully it can be overcome enough to survive in the world.

Of course there is for women obviously the option of becoming a lesbian separatist, but that's not workable or desirable for all. And men have the option of being a mountain man in the woods, etc., of course. (I don't count the MGTOW because they seem to mostly be about attacking women online...not 'going their own way' at all.)

There is some appeal to avoiding the other gender at times, after pain and heartache or betrayal. It can be a necessary step to a healthier emotional place, imo. But unresolved hatred is always trouble, if it lasts and affects how you treat others.

The best thing to take from it long term however is to be careful who you trust. Especially in romantic relationships. Maybe you're not in a place for a relationship or quite able to pick someone trustworthy. Maybe you're vulnerable and not ready yet and could be taken advantage of. Or maybe you're still so hurt you'll lash out and ruin a wonderful relationship with the perfect person for you, when if you'd just waited and worked through some stuff, you'd have managed to make it work.

Life can fuck a person up. Sometimes it's tempting to hate the opposite gender for whatever reason (I'm side-eying a lot of male politicians right now, and it's hard not to sometimes), but overall, it doesn't generally improve the world or your life. Even without getting into romance, there are always going to be men or women in your life you would like to or need to get along with. (And probaly always ones you shouldn't trust or who would be bad news for you personally!)

I was gonna say about MGTOW. You know you're watching a MGTOW video because he won't shut up about women.
