He clearly doesn't hate himself. Stop trying to us vs them.
"Men" are harmful in the same way that you don't put your hand on an electric stove. You assume it's going to hurt you until you find out otherwise.
No, "men" aren't harmful any more than "women" are, unless you are completely delusional. People don't assume that random "men" are going to hurt them unless they have serious problems, or living in the active war zone. This over-dramatization doesn't help anyone and isolates you from absolute majority if you really think that way. You can isolate yourself, just don't act like it's normal in any way.
Sorry but if you don't see how that comparison is beyond not ok somethings wrong here. Which isn't to say you can't feel like that bc that's just the natural result of bad experiences.
Easily half the turkish immigrants I've interacted with were people begging or threatening me on the street, that doesn't mean I assume turkish immigrants are assholes. Because I know it's both selection bias (most normal ppl just mind their business and don't randomly talk to you, immigrants are poorer on avg so there are more homeless immigrants). And even if 95% were pieces of shit I'd still at most be more careful, but not somehow try to include all the ones that aren't a problem in the group that I'm complaining about.
You don't understand pounding down vs punching up.
