At the risk of sounding like a defensive narcissist, I would suggest the impulse to link my alleged demonization and rejection of men to an allegedly more real hatred of female figures is yet another example of a man’s inability, unwillingness, or fear to fully consider the harmful impact men can have on women. Though isn’t that the thing about pathology according to a system devised largely by men? To even suggest male fragility or male bias might be at play, I first must suggest my own defensiveness and narcissism.
