My mother didn't hate men per se but despised my father for multiple reasons. I would be careful with the pattern displayed by your mother. My therapists said it clearly played a role in the type of women I respond to.
Our parents relationship is the model from which we then put our relationships into. It's what they unknowingly taught us.

And thou, too, whosoe' er thou art, That readest this brief psalm, As one by one thy hopes depart, Be resolute and calm. So fear not in a world like this, And thou shalt know erelong, Know how sublime a thing it is, To suffer and be strong.----Henry Longfellow.(The light of stars)
