(29,693 posts)they are hated no just because they are told to by the republicon hate machine. They are women and women have been hated for centuries. You can't have a patriarchal society until you kill the matriarch. These women are all solid performers in their fields with incredible knowledge and wisdom and would be considered "grand dames" in other circumstances.
Now, like the burning times, women were an impediment to the wealth and power. For instance; before then, "doctors" were healers and generally women. After the burning times, only men could be doctors and "practice" medicine, thousands of people died; women especially during childbirth before men learned to wash their hands.
Property once was passed down mother to daughter; after the final purge, property and names were handed down by the father to the son and women were simply property to sell off at the most opportune time.
But I digress. They hate those women in particular because the are powerful. They hate them because they are wise; they hate them because they are more capable than the men. They are impediments to the great evil those men want to do.
