Footnote (I always get them a bit mixed up).
misandry: Hating men or boys
misogyny: Hating women or girls
misanthropy: Hating all humans, without discrimination.
Arguing with people that seem to hold irrational viewpoints does tend to turn you into a misanthropist if you are not careful.
1) You might be wrong
2) Even if you are right, sometimes "winning" or trying too hard to "win" loses a friend or the "war". No-one likes a Clever Dick, least of all one that's right.
3) It's acceptable to be convinced someone is wrong and even on occasion mention it. It's not acceptable to hate someone because they have a different opinion or worldview even if you are convinced it's wrong and toxic.
But still, it's hard.
