Pakistan: Does feminism promote misandry?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Feminism in many cases has done women proud, and eradicated gender based discrimination –but in some cases it contradicts the very essence of egalitarianism.

I have seen many women who paint men with the same brush and deem them – as a whole –too conservative and old fashioned. At times, I feel bad for my class fellows being shut down by female students while discussing feminism. Many of them, including my professor share a bigoted viewpoint regarding men.

I recently interviewed a few localities from my neighborhood and asked them the same question, whether feminism promotes hatred against men or not? I received varied responses.

“I think our country has outgrown women’s rights crisis. In my village, matriarchy is dominant,” said Hasan Jabeen, a local school teacher.

“I believe women do have a bias against men. I’ve seen it in public. I can hardly put into words the way they stare at men. It’s pretty bad. But above all, they make them doubt themselves as humans which is sad!” said Javeria Hussain, a graduate student.'

... how it coddles/defends feminism, not a bad article. The graphic showing Rosie the Riveter and the woman w/ a gun isn't correct in its distinction betw. feminist and man-hater. Feminism requires the villification of men, which leads inexorably to the hatred of same. One cannot be a feminist and remain a non-man-hater for long.
