I can't believe that in this day and age that you don't think men and women do like to be around each other. Maybe I just grew up in a forward thinking town with open minded-people, but I don't really believe that's the case here.

And where is all this hate coming from? I can understand not liking someone based on their personality or views on life, but because of their gender? It's like not liking someone because they are a different race, sexual orientation, etc. I think it's wrong to group people like that and utterly not true in this day and age.
If you consider the rate of abuse, divorce and teen pregnancy, misogyny is pretty rampant. He is talking about the average man here, and the average man hasn't made much headway into male/female relations. How many guys spend more nonsexual time with their girlfriends and wives then they do working or hanging out with their friends? Not that many. How many men care about sharing interests and viewpoints with a woman before opting to date them? How many guys do you know who date women who they would not be friends with? I think the answer is, in fact, most. Liberalism and conservatism aside, the fact is, that the majority of men do not LIKE women as people. Beyond that, there is a group within that demographic that actively dislikes women as people, and within that demographic, one that hates.
