Some people are just so fucking dense, the kind of women who hate men are women who have been abused, raped, degraded, and traumatized by men. But they care more about the fact that these women hate men than they do about stopping the men who are doing all of the raping, abusing, degrading, and traumatizing to women.

They literally think women’s words are worse than men’s physical actions.

“Men often react to women’s words—speaking and writing—as if they were acts of violence; sometimes men react to women’s words with violence. So we lower our voices. Women whisper. Women apologize. Women shut up. Women trivialize what we know. Women shrink. Women pull back. Most women have experienced enough dominance from men—control, violence, insult, contempt—that no threat seems empty.”  – Andrea Dworkin
