'“Why can’t we hate men?” by Suzanna Danuta Walters

Walters lays out the simple facts of discrimination and violence against women as they have existed across the world, throughout all of history, and doesn’t flinch in drawing her conclusions. Challenging and unforgettable in the way a great op-ed can be. And if you want to see her point dreadfully proven, read her follow-up: “Mob misogyny is nothing new. I have the death threats to prove it.” — Michael Larabee, op-ed editor'

Hating men is perfectly acceptable behavior. We know this because WaPo published this editorial--and now designates it as one of their favorites.

Maybe they should equal time to some white supremacist to write "Why Can't We Hate Blacks?"

And then the author complains about misogyny. But if it's okay to hate men, why is it so bad to hate women? Perhaps I'll submit something called "Why Can't We Hate Women?" and see if it gets published. Don't sell your farm betting on it.

And who is the "we" referred to? Everybody? Women? The sad fact is a lot of men are willing to hate themselves. We even have a name for men unwilling to hate themselves: "misogynists."
