Honestly people who fall into the extreme of hating all men, not just being cautious or weary of men, but actively hating every single man, are pretty toxic people and cannot be pleased. I’ve had friends like this and I had to cut people off because it was hurting me(ftm) and my boyfriend(cis) because we both know we’re not dangerous men and we don’t need to say “not all men” because we know it doesn’t apply to us, but people who make it about us when we’re healthy, safe, gay men, it hurts us
Casually saying “oh I hate men” as a way to express frustration when a man does something misogynistic is something I’m fine with personally. I get it, men can be insufferable dumbfucks sometimes Making it your whole personality and having a genuine hatred is a red flag. That’s not just frustration being blown off at that point
personally, i prefer to not spend a ton of time with people for whom loathing men is that much of a constant and it’s not that i think they’re bad / immoral for expressing that stuff—in fact i generally think it’s totally understandable to harbor resentment for a demographic who’s oppressing you. it’s rly just that that kind of talk stresses me out, so i limit how much of it i hear
