Summary
Women, especially feminists and lesbians, have long been accused of hating men. Our instinct is to deny it at all costs. (After all, women have been burnt at the stake for admitting to less.)
But what if mistrusting men, disliking men – and yes, maybe even hating men – is, in fact, a useful response to sexism? What if such a response offers a way out of oppression, a means of resistance? What if it even offers a path to joy, solidarity and sisterhood?
In this sparkling essay, as mischievous and provocative as it is urgent and serious, Pauline Harmange interrogates modern attitudes to feminism and makes a rallying cry for women to find a greater love for each other – and themselves.

Critic reviews
‘A good book, written from a burning heart but with a cool head’ The Times
‘Rousing … a call to liberation. Her writing is full of hope, unwavering in its trust of other women and their abilities’ Independent
‘An exhilarating essay to be read in one sitting’ Libération
‘Written in wise prose, devoid of excess or rage, I Hate Men explores the terrain of contemporary feminism, its arguments in keeping with those of writers like Rebecca Solnit, as well as the movement's key ideas: patriarchy, the mental load, #MeToo and solidarity’ L’Obs

真的太喜欢这本书了
作者写的太好了 看完书我的心情从愤怒到悲伤到快乐 终于能知道志同道合的人们在世上都做着怎样的努力 知道我不是一个人
看到评论里打低分的男人就知道这本书写的有多好 有多真实 所以他们才专门听完这本书然后辱骂作者 shame on them.
即使在中国这种并不允许女性发声的国家 女生的女权意识也越来越觉醒 这真的是一件非常好的事情

short and to the point
This has a clear message which I am totally on board with. Nothing new here but an appeal for sisterhood and becoming less focussed on placating, pleasing and putting up with men and their bad behaviour

sad book
interesting look into the mind of a feminist,
very destructive, dehumanizing men,
this kind of misandri might in the end hurt women even more than men.
she makes it clear (her)? feminism is not about eqality but female supremacy.

Angry rant about men
I am a man, this book in essence sows seeds of division between the sexes.
The author makes contradictions; let’s hate men - I am married to one. Bizzare that she confesses that she loves the man she is married to yet desires to hate him? I cannot understand this lodgic.
She attacks cis white men, of course she avoids acts of cruelty committed by men of other ethnic backgrounds because, I imagine, fear of being a racist.
Not to mention a man who identifies as a women. Are they included in this angry rant?
This book shows us just how deranged the west has become and proof that they will print just about any garbage.
