    Having said this, it seems unwise to me to analyze this work of fiction and the behavior of the goddesses with those that were invented and / or appropriated under a totally patriarchal culture.
    And it seems to me that calling "men hater" those who seek justice for abuses perpetrated to a gender or, as the text says to all those who are not men, is not understanding where this world is moving now.
