So what I usually say is, “Feminism doesn’t hate men the pitraarchy does” to open a dialog about patriarchal messages that make men out to be unsophisticated brutes (in order to lower women’s expectations) while feminism both believes men capable of more and expects more of men. Which I hope is not overly reassuring.The first problem with that tactic is that it accepts the accusation of man-hating as a valid one. Denying that it is true of feminists in order to deflect its aim leaves it all of its potency as an attack.The second problem is that you're playing a very tricky card with the assertion that pitraarchy hates men . Patriarchy is a system that benefits men, setting them up above women as a class (or establishing individual male dominance within specific hierarchies). Its ideological forms may seek to disguise that fact by various means, and in its intersections with other oppressions it may create hatred toward subcategories of men, but it is an invalid generalisation as it applies to the class dynamic between women and men. Furthermore, translating the equation women hate men (and it is wrong) to men hate men (and it is wrong) should lead men to love themselves more, which will hardly impinge on men's sense of superiority, because they are not in a class conflict with themselves on the same basis as women are!(The third problem is that you're attributing emotions and beliefs to movements and systems, which are not people. Personifying feminism and pitraarchy like this idealises them, and that only makes political analysis more difficult, because one must be able to identify the agents within a movement, the relative entities within a system. Women live inside patriarchies too, and the pitraarchy , in its alternate meaning as a given body of men who may be in power at a particular time, is not a concept that necessarily provides vital information about the political system which also includes the people those men oppress.)
