Sure, there are a few "man-haters" out there, but most of those folks advocate for *drum roll*

men to leave them alone.

And for women to not tolerate bad behavior from men. (*cough* Chris Brown *cough cough*)

I'm not sure what else you could mean. I guess I'm missing tone or context, which if you don't want to clarify, you don't have to.

I have seen young men raised by women that hate them because they look like their fathers.

I've seen women talking about how devastated they would be if they ever had a son.

First point: I'm guessing 'bigger' was a typo, given key proximity, and she sounds racist. I'm sure there are other women who don't & shouldn't trust her either. I honestly think the 'man' bit was just an excuse, and I am sorry you had to deal with that.

Second point: This is so sad and toxic. :( I have known women who do this to their children who look too much like their dads, and it Is fucked up and costly in therapy bills. (I've seen it happen to the varied genders of kids and it's awful all around)

Third point: This attitude of theirs is weird and lazy. They could try to raise better men instead, but calling it hopeless before they even try? Oof. It's like they don't keep up with feminist theory or good parenting techniques. I'm raising my boys the best I can using those so *shrugs*

I do finally get how approaching things from a "man-hating" perspective can be seen as women kind shooting themselves in the foot, countering the goals and progress we all should want.

Maybe it could be called toxic femininity?

Thinking that men are incapable of being better IS misandrist but is also antifeminist.

Feel free to use any of the above thoughts to call the people out in your life behaving badly like this.

and then thinking about all the people who call her cold or uncaring or clinical about what she has to do to save earth. eva stratt, who had silly t-shirts and vodka and favorite meals stored in the Hail Mary and treated with the same level of importance as the finely tuned equipment and the centrifuge the entire planet relies on for salvation.

and then thinking about eva stratt nodding and saying, “yeah, I’m pretty awful. that’s why i’m in charge” with a neutral expression and even believing it. as if crafting the most beautiful coffin and homage to her soon-to-be dead friends won’t haunt her always.

thinking about eva stratt being the first person on the “eva stratt is a monster” train, welcoming ryland grace aboard and knowing she believed in him more than anyone else.

An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in people exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus at home, according to trial results published today in the New England Journal of Medicine1. The drug could be a lifeline for those who still face real danger from the virus, such as care-home residents or transplant recipients on immune-suppressing medication.

On a flight to LA I struck up a conversation with the woman sitting next to me, idle chitchat while we waited for the plane to take off. In the air my husband pulled out a book, but the light above his seat was broken. Our new friend in the window seat insisted on loaning him her travel book-light. Shortly after, I pulled out my kindle on which I was reading Everything Is Tuburculosis. It opened on a particularly medical page. She asked if I was studying for med school. I explained what the book is about, and she was fascinated. A minute later she asked "Since I finished my book in the airport and I can't get my phone on the wifi, would you be offended if I read your book with you? I can see from here just fine."

And so for the next 2.5 hours or so this stranger and I quietly read your book side by side. Our reading pace was (thankfully) the same and every now and then she would silently point to something she found especially poignant or whisper a quiet "Wow" or "I never knew that."

For a few hours your book gave a strange sense of human connection to this childless 29 year old from CT on her way to a Bat Mitzvah in LA and a 60-some year old woman from Romania going to visit her daughter in Denver.

At the end of the flight she wrote down "John Green" in the notes app on her phone so she can finish the book, and get a copy for her daughter too.
