By definition a Man Hater is a woman who thinks all men are scum without reason, and hates a man just because he is of the male gender.

I have many friends that I think fall into this category. They believe that ALL men are trifling dirty dogs. What many of them don't realize is how bitter they come off. Some of them have been hurt deeply by men and have held on to that anger, and others latch on to the anger of what men have…
