Hombres, los odio

Women, especially feminists, have long been accused of hating men. Instinct, of course, asks them to deny it at all costs; after all, many women were condemned to the stake for less. But what if distrusting men, that we do not like them -and yes, maybe even hate them- is actually a good response to machismo? What if this response offers a way out of oppression and becomes a form of resistance? What if it even paves the way to well-being, solidarity and sisterhood? In this essay as iconoclastic and provocative as it is urgent and rigorous, Pauline Harmange questions contemporary attitudes towards feminism and imposes herself as the spokesperson for a battle cry for women to find a more valuable love among themselves and for themselves.
