I feel this way too, and for me it was instigated by my husband failing me. I used to LOVE men, actually thought so much about them. My husband used to be my hero. Now that he has went on a downward spiral in all aspects of life, I just feel so lost and alone that I hate all men because I feel that HE abandoned me. So I share your irrational hate of men, but mine is from a different reason. I think I'd feel better if I had a lover, but I'm too shy and reserved to seek one out. I'm also very aloof in public or work/school environments so I don't attract much attention. Nevertheless, I think it's good we both know these feelings are irrational and we don't act upon them and be cruel to men for no reason. I'm very polite to everyone and I feel the hate just melt away the moment I have a genuinely pleasant interaction with a strange man. I still treat them the way I want to be treated. Feelings are so weird I swear.
