Wtf? Look, I don't like most people (men, women, hermaphrodites, transies...). I s'pose it's true that I don't relate to a lot of women, partly because they tend to be more polite, but I can feel them judging me behind their words and not telling me what they really think of me, and I can't handle that (but this is true of my reactions to any people who put up this sort of front, which also includes a lot of upper class sorts of people, and otherwise is of course an individual thing). Just like I can't handle arguments that end with the silent treatment instead of just having it out and moving on. I don't like the parts of myself that are still very much 'womanly' because those are the parts that are dependent. On the other hand, I don't have hang-ups about masculinity like certain men do, and I can understand women's perspective better than if I were a boy, probably. But most of the guys I end up in longish relationships end up being 'the boy' just like most girls end up being 'the girl' (you know, the object, the status symbol, the dependent one). And realizing that has perhaps made me try to treat such men better, because they can't handle being treated as if they were strong, independent, decision-making types. Anyway, I'm getting on a tangent.

Point is, I think it's stupid to just "not like" any group of people. Ideas, attitudes, behaviors, etc. I can not like just fine. And sometimes I say otherwise as a tongue-in-cheek sort of shorthand, but it's not how I actually feel about individual people. The other point is that I don't think "women" ARE a real group of people, except in the sense that socially created things are real and ideas are real, because they have real effects in the world. So if I don't like women, I'm either disliking an idea, or I'm disliking something that doesn't exist (if you mean that women are a category that really exists as people, because such a thing is impossible), but I'm not disliking any actual people in particular.

Sigh.
