I think a lot of fandom really hates women.  Fangirls are especially rabid.  It should come as no surprise that the more delusional ones hate the women their beloved men have been written into marrying - but I must admit, I did not expect these fangirls' solution to be eliminating women entirely.  I expected them to craft better, more perfect women ( Read more... )

In what way do you hate women? Or rather, which women?

Embodiment of Fire is my favorite DBZ episode ever. I'm not sure I'd spend $50 on it, but you know, I might.

Unempowered women, victimized women, domestic women, etc., etc...

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.
