Women, especially feminists and lesbians, have long been accused of hating men. Our instinct is to deny it at all costs. (After all, women have been burnt at the stake for admitting to less.) But what if mistrusting men, disliking men - and yes, maybe even hating men - is, in fact, a useful response to sexism? What if such a response offers a way out of oppression, a means of resistance? What if it even offers a path to joy, solidarity and sisterhood?

Det er en myte, at der ikke kan falde sne i et subtropisk klima, og at man på disse breddegrader ikke risikerer at opleve en kulde, som bider i kinder og næse.
