I agree also I felt kinda "ick" when I saw an oft reblogged statement by someone on tumblr that "hating men has no consequences I could be the worst misandrist in the world and it would make me nothing but an unpleasant party guest whereas hating women is harmful".

I mean I know that right now in a way it's true and it IS like that, but....at the same time I find it idiotic and in a way irresponsible to say "my hate has no consequences". Because hate may start out seeming that way....but if it is fostered enough and encouraged it grows.

Besides...hate doesn't solve a damn thing. If we're actually going to get PAST sexism...we need to get past "men versus women" because that is the ROOT of sexism. It's idiotic to think you're "fighting sexism" by hating the other sex.

That said I do not deny that things are still very difficult for women in the world and there's a lot of issues to be fought.

EXACTLY. And another giant EXACTLY to your "hate doesn't solve a damn thing."

It's nice to see common sense occasionally visiting online. :)

I heartily agree with you.

We solve nothing in the ongoing battle against any sort of bigotry if the way we are "fighting" it is just mistreating the majority. That just fosters more bigotry against the minority in question because it makes members of the majority say "Well that proves they're not worth treating well!".

The problem is that they see their hatred as justified (and it very well may be) and if you ever tell them that it's unhealthy they'll just scream at you for wanting to keep them down. But the problem is that hate ALWAYS has consequences, especially for the person doing the hating. Like the saying goes, "Hating someone is like drinking poison but expecting the other person to die."
