This is a terrible thing to write. I am 27/F. I'm a wife and mother. In my teens/early 20s I was very much a ‘pick me' girl. Like a Pearl Davis type. I cooled that down a lot over the years but I've gone to the opposite extreme. Rationally, I know this is unfair and unhealthy. Most men aren't bad. But a little voice tells me that even the ‘good ones' have some ingrained misogyny even if it's on the milder end.
I love my husband very much, he did something to hurt me very badly in the early days of our relationship. I feel this was the start of it. It wasn't cheating or anything like that. I don't wish to rehash it too much but it was related to s*x. We worked through it, went to therapy, and we're now just like any other couple. We have one daughter and we're very happy together and with our life.
It's been years since this happened, but gradually I've found myself growing a stronger dislike for men. It's not because of what my husband did but I think it triggered it. I started noticing casual misogyny in everyday life more and more to the point where it's made me angry that men…exist? I get so sad thinking that my baby girl will one day be hurt by a man, not maybe, but likely.
If anyone is wondering, I actually have a great relationship with my dad, we are very close. I'm also in therapy for unrelated reasons but this has come up a couple of times. I want to get over this disgusting hatred and have a healthier outlook. Is this worth discussing with my therapist? I would appreciate literally any insight at this point.

Posts to confessions presumably because she doesn't have a healthy outlet IRL and knows who Pearl is. Gee, where the heck could all this hate and resentment be coming from?

Is she the one that slides into the room with her socks?
