Whether or not there is an imbalance or natural predisposition to be more accepting of people who are not men, it’s simply not healthy to hate an entire gender. I see a lot of these discussions pop up here on DU. I’m all for airing frustrations as a victim, I certainly have, but promoting dislike or hate of a gender (misogyny or misandry) just isn’t beneficial to anyone.
