X is very honest about such things. There's nothing in anything CB has said to suggest she "hates men". Only that she considers that you are a misogynist. Trying to prove that she hates men, or has a fear of them (what an old ploy) to disprove or make okay that you are a misogynist won't work. Why do you even take time trying to do so? Would that justify anything? The "we're almost all sexists" like the "everyone's racist" argument is tired and worthless.

Ah- but X doesn't really mean it. What I really mean is what I wrote to Coby- that I find relationships with women easier, less laden with tension, and more nurturing. I do not understand men- I can begin to understand the biological reasons for why they act the way they do but I cannot imagine being in their skin. I cannot understand the incredible sexual urges that men seem to have (based on all those studies about how often men think about sex) that alone makes me feel like they (in general- I know there are exceptions) are a different species. And I am more comfortable with people who think the way I think- aren't we all? I mean it is great to argue, or feel the thrill of being around the unknown, but for rest and relaxation I like to be around people who are not too different from myself. EDIT- I guess what I mean to say is I realize now how much I value my women friends, and how much I like women- I cannot say the same thing about male friends because I do not think it wise to develope any, because male friendships have not worked out well for me in the past. So perhaps rather than disliking men, I highly value women. Although I must admit I am wary of men, because i do not understand them.
