Remember Reeva Steenkamp, and the thousands of other women killed by men every year

12. I don't think it's from hatred

Hatred is a manifestation of an abnormal psychological and developmental response to the fundamental drives of fear and desire. I have no great depth of knowledge of Adlerian, Freudian or more contemporary psychology, nor do I have expertise in the sociology/psychology of gender inequality.

I don't think most psychologists or sociologists would feel comfortable with such laxity in definitions, but if stuffing such complex issues as gender inequality, power and control, and fundamental psychologic and sociologic drives under the umbrella of hatred helps scaffold your own understanding and actions, so be it.

I do take issue with your characterization of my attempt to clarify terms as absurd and splitting hairs. One could argue that this speech is somewhat condescending, and as I feel somewhat belittled, is somewhat hateful. Enlightenment is a tricky thing.
