Basically, I hate the social construction of women. I hate that women take it up as their identity. I hate that they do it to themselves. I hate the economic construction of women, which is tied up with the first thing, of course. I hate the domestic sphere, the bedding to marry (and oh, those feminine romantic dreams are just fodder for women's role in society...). I hate the imbuing of meaning into every little thing around them, because they're so caught up in their image or their home or whatever. Not that I couldn't bitch about men, too, or that no men are caught up in their 'image' but in a distinctly different way, and it's these things that are particular to women precisely because of their historical role that are the ones I end up hating.
