It’s frustrating to see how all hate is being treated as though it were equal. The whole rhetoric of “You’re becoming the hate that you opposed so much.” But it’s not that simple. Not all hate can be viewed equally.

A woman hates her abuser for how she was treated.

Her abuser hates her for existing as a woman.

We cannot treat the hate of the victims as the same thing as the hatred they face. That is belittling their experiences and silencing their (justified) reactions.

Enough of this, “stop spreading more hate” rhetoric. We are under no obligation to love those who constantly and consistently mistreat us.

THANK YOU.
