Why It’s So Harmful to Assume All Feminists Hate Men
Newsflash: it isn’t true and there’s new research to prove it
Another day, another eye roll at the latest “all feminists hate men” comment on my social media feed.
An eye roll because I know it to be untrue.
I know it to be untrue because I consider myself a feminist, and I don’t hate men.
More importantly, I know it to be untrue because a huge new body of research says so.
The man-hating feminist is a pervasive stereotype, one that is widely believed. It’s also a) incredibly offensive and b) incredibly damaging because it redirects the conversation away from real female issues.
After all, if women be crazy, it gives us a reason not to listen to them, which is harmful to everyone..
Here’s why the “all feminists hate men” stereotype needs to die, once and for all.
