The reason why you see exploitation, sexploitation, snuff, abuse - Is because these cultures do not even see women as being remotely equal to Men. It's a lack of respect and a lack of consideration for women being other human beings. In this case, it's not necessarily about hate (sometimes it is I am sure)... But ubiquitously, women are not considered as being human to begin with; they're treated like animals, dogs servants. It's not hate; it's a complete and utter disregard for female humanity.

The reason why men (in MM's example) refer to women as "bitches" has nothing to do with hate - it's a complete lack of consideration or empathy. Patriarchy teaches us that the weaker sex is put on this planet to serve as the empty vessel for our procreation and servitude of Men. It's not always "hate." That is WAY too simple. If you don't consider a woman to be human, it's disrespect, condescension, ignorance.

That's not to say that there isn't hate. You just have to look at the issue more holistically.

thats definately the bigger picture scenario which i believe to be true.
