They don't hate men. You have no idea what hate is if you think that. Not being interested in people romantically is not the same as hate. People can be indifferent to other people. That is not hatred.

When many people avoid the same kind of people, it is generally because the person is socially unacceptable for some reason. That reason may be that they are inappropriate, not particularly attractive, stupid, uneducated, that they smell, are socially inept, are ignorant, have terrible opinions, and more.

For instance, I have been treated badly throughout my life. There were a number of reasons for this. 1. I was inappropriate and didn't understand social cues. 2. Women were jealous of my looks. 3. Men were angry because I wasn't interested in going out with them. 4. They were ignorant and small minded people and misinterpreted my responses. I was autistic, not looking down my nose at them.

And so on and so forth.

Nobody hated me. They just weren't interested in me. They thought I was odd, and stupid. They also thought I was evil and spiteful and malicious. It never occurred to them that I was autistic.

Avoiding people, and not being interested in them isn't hatred.

And nobody on this earth has the right to demand that other people like them. Incels don't have any moral right to demand that beautiful women sleep with them. This is a very twisted outlook. Just because other people have something (through luck), it doesn't mean that everybody else is entitled it.

Just about everything that everybody has int his world is the result of sheer luck. They got wealthy through sheer luck. They got born into the right country at the right time through sheer luck. They had the right kind of parenting through sheer luck. They were born tall or short, or ugly or pretty, or clever or stupid, or healthy or unhealthy through sheer luck or sheer misfortune.

You cannot force people to be attracted towards people they are not attracted to. You cannot interpret everything to be hatred when it is disagreement or lack of agreement.

That, in itself, is ignorance, self-involvement, lack of sufficient worldly experience, and a twisted slant on reality.

Most people are hurt by one thing or another. We get up, dust ourselves off, learn to live with the hurt, and we stop expecting others to kiss our arses. I have never had a relationship, and despite my looks, I never will. I am autistic, I didn't ask to be autistic. This is the hand that I was dealt. I have lived through hell. I don't blame others for hurting me. I don't think they hate me.

Grow up, John.
