Karen Straughan (@girlwriteswhat) succinctly discusses that men don’t hate women. VERY interesting: I don’t think there is a universe that could exist where men, in general, hate women. So maybe the first thing would be to stop accusing men of hating women? And to call out the women in positions of power who accuse…
