What Man-Hating Does to Your Mental Health

from The Work of Being Human · host Vanessa Bentley

I recently saw a meme posted by a mental health professional and it said, "Every woman has a story about a man who harmed her." It got me thinking... In a culture where contempt toward men is increasingly normalized, even framed as "female empowerment," we have to ask a more honest question: what does that kind of thinking actually do to our mental health? In this episode, we examine misandry (the hatred of men) through three lenses—the individual, the relational, and the societal—and expose the distorted thinking that sustains it. Because even though something can feel justified, it may still not be true. And if we build our lives on ideas that distort reality and dehumanize others, we don’t become stronger, we simply live as victims of our own faulty thinking. This is a call back to reality, to clear thinking, and to a more human way of relating. If this made you think, please share it!
