Is hatred for the opposite gender ever justified?

Question

Chazmatazz269 · Accepted Answer

Of course. For people who have every full function as part of the human experience, we have the ability to learn. Learning from books and teachers is extremely privileged and relatively new in terms of how long that’s been practiced compared to how long people have been living and learning. Most of our educational opportunities have historically come through pain and loss, and today many still do.
Now imagine a person whose entire life people of the opposite sex did nothing but hurt them and take from. Not one good experience, ever. As a matter of biological imperative that person has every right to hate the opposite sex. In fact, they’d be well justified and flat out stoopid to not. It absolutely does not matter if NAMALT or NAWALT, if EVERY one you encounter IS.
Anyone who would say otherwise without fully understanding that person’s situation is either an idiot or an asshole. Either way, they have no business giving advice to others. Ell oh ell!

Of a whole gender?

No, I will admit I have consumed both taking points of feminism and men’s rights/ red pill communities before.

I came to my own personal conclusions just to judge people on a case by case basis.

Yea there are complex things and problems for both sides but the internet has a way of amplifying issues to a degree to make it look like all hello has broken loose.

There are still issues we need to resolve don’t get me wrong.

I just choose not to give into the negativity and hate it can be a poison if you hold on too long.

If you hate a person for a justified reason I can understand that.

If you hate about half of the people on the planet you're probably nuts.

But our perception of "the opposite gender" mostly comes from our personal interactions with the limited number of men and women we get to meet and know in our lifetime.

If most women in a man's life are toxic, then it will be hard for him to feel good when he hears the plural noun "women" (in his unconscious mind, it's just a collage of all the women he ever met).

And vice versa for a woman.

For these people, the only effective solution is for them to actually meet enough good people that belong to the opposite gender. It's like overcoming trauma.

And the key to their healing is to tell them their hatred is *not* justified, since their experience is limited.

For a whole gender? Nah, it's actually ridiculous. People are usually just reacting that way because of relationship troubles really, whether it be no relationships or bad relationships. It's a pretty bad coping mechanism. Though, I do feel like the majority of guys suck, because most of them either sexually harass me or act like I'm some kind of disgusting gremlin for even being near them, I wouldn't HATE males as a whole for that. It'd be pretty stupid if I just made a ton of internet posts "proving" they're apparently objectively inferior for their sex and treated every single one like shit just for my bad experiences. It's like you're either being willfully ignorant, or desperately looking for attention if you act like that.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Feelings don't require a logical justification to come into existence and feelings wil not go away if you challenge them as being irrational.

Additionally, I have had reasons to harbor animosity towards a few women in my life, but that was very specific to those particular women. I LOVE women. Nothng has ever caused me to want to hate all women.

FireGodGoesSeeknFire · Answer

I'm not sure how to interpret the question. I mean the idea seems deeply misguided and I would think reflects more on the mental health of the hater than anything else.

That said people generally don't choose to be emotionally imbalanced and so it's more a matter of who trying to help them get well and judging whether they are "justified" or not.

MCheetah · Answer

Possibly, if you've been raped IRL or raped figuratively in divorce court. But usually, no, it is not. Because people are individuals.

However, being frustrated with the lame-ass dating world is damn justified, I'd say! No more lesbians, OF girls, and trannies stinking up my inbox!

Summeroflove · Answer

It’s not no. A lot of people sure. Go through some shitty stuff with bad people of the opposite sex.

you can’t help how you’re born. It’s not fair to hate someone for it.

No. It’s not. I see it all the time. Someone hates all women or hates all men. Which is why they attract it. Because the good ones don’t like that

cth96190 · Answer

I do not hate women, even though every interaction, in terms of seeking a partner, has resulted in rejection, derision, disappointment, or broken hearts that made the rope look better than life.
Instead, I have experienced a loss of interest in females.
I am indifferent in terms of sexual interaction and I have no interest in rescuing females from the consequences of their own stupidity.

AdithyaR · Answer

Most of it, no.
The problem is lack of empathy.
Both sides seem to focus on only their problems while discounting the others. They forget that both sides can acknowledge their own and other's problems and coexist together. The existence of one sides problems don't invalidate the others. Neither should they be used to do the same.

AmeerX · Answer

Not because of gender but because woman can be equally bad as men. Female lawyers and judges have been known to have sex for money and for providing service for money. Do you want me to respect such women? Or Police officers taking bribe. Should I be lenient because she is a woman?

Or the case where a girl faked injuries on her husband's order for money working for a mob gang leader in my Town

Blackcupcake · Answer

nope because that hatred comes from generalisation of what one or a few men/women have done… it’s narrow minded

Anonymous · Answer

Eh. I don't think it's wise to let it blind you, but I can understand some people fall into it. I've seen people miss out on some good relationships by lumping the other into the gender as a whole. I think it's best to view everyone as an individual until they prove themselves to be "just like all the others".

Justified? Maybe in some cases. It's a defense mechanism. But it doesn't serve you for the best, no matter what you've been through.

ClosetHoe · Answer

I think if the hatred started at a very young age it’s understandable (but not right) but if you’re older you should definitely know better.

LazerBean · Answer

No. Hating a whole gender group is no different than hating a whole race group.

NathanDavis · Answer

if you fully hate the opposite gender as a whole... then one thing is true... you actually hate yourself and your entire life you're just in denial when you blame ALL men or ALL Women, alike

Phoenix98 · Answer

Towards individuals of the opposite gender sure. But towards the entire gender? No I don’t think so.

Paul_in_Indy · Answer

Hatred is never justified. Never. Well… There’s candy corn. OK, hatred of candy corn is justified. Other than that: no, of course not!

Anonymous · Answer

Not from my point of view.

I hate gold diggers. Gold diggers use men for money. The problem isn't battling the gold diggers. The problem is protecting myself from gold diggers and OnlyFans whores and that's on me.

Besides some girls were also used for their money by male gold diggers.

Point is i hate not half of the population but Whoever is being an asshole and those come in all sorts of properties.

loveslongnails · Answer

The question can be posed "in hatred ever justified"? But as to your question, no, in my opinion, it's not.

Jdjfjcjj · Answer

No woman in a happy marriage goes out and talks a out how they hate men.  No man who can get sex, talks about how they hate women. See the difference?

Nomina · Answer

No. It's the perfect example of painting everyone who has one characteristic in common with the same brush. And it makes no sense.

Adam1978 · Answer

No you should never hate a whole group. Because no group act as an individual which is most likely what has caused the hate to begin with.

Andres77 · Answer

No hatred is justified. Disgust for people who have offended but not for a whole section of society. Every individual should be judged on their own merit.

Guanfei · Answer

In general or towards one specific person? In general no, towards a specific person maybe, depending on what he did to you.

boggboss · Answer

Nope not justified u can have reasons vut don't make then right

call_me_scar · Answer

Not the gender as a whole but you can hate specific individuals like for example I hate Hillary Clinton for being a corrupt sellout but I like my coworkers whom are female

Mangospacho · Answer

I don’t think so. There are good and bad people for every gender. It’s pointless to hate an entire gender when there are good and decent people in both genders.

TroyDT2 · Answer

Logically, no, because it must of necessity boil down to judging billions of people for the actions of a very small sample.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

No, you can't generalize such a broad group of people, but I think hatred for men of a specific race/ethnic group is justified

FilmGuy93 · Answer

It certainly can be. The genders really really treat each other pretty poorly.

Hulk30 · Answer

no for different reasons if we were a thing it'd just motivate us to fight instead of fuck and do many other things together much more fun than that

imfreeze95 · Answer

No. Hatred for a SINGLE INDIVIDUAL of the opposite gender on a case by case basis  Absolutely. Been there currently doing it.

Guardian45 · Answer

Nope. It's NOT productive to generalize about one sex, based bad experience with a handful individuals

Deserter · Answer

It is when you can't even criticize women without them saying you're a sexist, an incelz etc. No women call them out, they only call out toxic men.

Hanrej · Answer

Yes. Actually you're allowed to feel whatever you want but acting on those feelings isn't allways justified.

Wise4myage · Answer

Sure, if they did something awful to you or your family.

Anonymous · Answer

Nope. I mean some women (or men) may have worser experiences than others. But generally that's due to her bad decision making (or his).
