Do you assume the opposite gender hates your gender?

I received a a pm tonight from a person who had joined fluther recently. She indicated that she had initially assumed I was a misogynist but had changed her mind. I, being the curious sort, asked her which specific post of mine led her to think that, and she could not identify one.

I am now curious. Do women expect that men are misogynists, and the burden of proof is on us to establish we are not?

And, second question, why are you talking to people you think hate women?
