I don't watch a lot of Hollywood movies these days.

Too many films that tend to have a 'scummy man' flavor to it, that's really sour.

I also get that I'm not the 'target audience' for such 'entertainment' (I use that word loosely).

It's gotten so bad, I've even seen articles coming up and celebrate misandry outright - as part of some form of 'revenge fantasy'.

Certainly misandry makes for a great seller of novels.

Here's something to consider when you're filled with hate over someone in part because of their gender:

Regardless of what sexual organs one possesses, it's easy to forget that there's a human being there.

This is what hatred does - it causes one to overlook biological realities over all else.

When you treat one human being as less than another on this kind of basis, you succumb to the very type of injustice structures you're seeking to destroy. And I've found, you'll never move beyond that if you cannot leave that hatred behind.

And when one conflates justice with revenge - and not accountability - that loss of respect is what leads to hatred.
