I don't often answer these any more and when I do, I often do it emotively. Just for the sake of trying it, any answer I give on this post will be purely logical. I'm not going to involve my feelings at all. You mentioned logic in your post so I'm going to trust you'll do the same. I'm not going to make any assertions I can't prove beyond the doubt of any argument (which means there's very little I can say in defence of my position, and I'm just going to have to rely on logic not evidence).
First off, though, I'm going to allow you to rephrase your question (if you want to) because, purely logically, you can only hate all women if you've experienced them all. If you want to rephrase it as you've despised every one you've met, then logically, that could potentially be true (although isn't true just because you say it is - that's a feeling, not logic, and we're keeping feelings out of this).
If you don't want to rephrase the question, my first logical answer is that it is impossible for you to hate all women based on the actions of the minority you've met. You can't extrapolate this and can't prove there is not a woman somewhere that you wouldn't hate. The example you gave with the shoes is cultural. People in other countries live in very different ways, as do people in your own country.
I know how fussy this is going to come across as, but I'm going to say it anyway (even if it is genuinely annoying):
If you hate the fact that killer sharks kill, then I'd accept that you can hate that all killer sharks kill (if all killer sharks killed). But that can't be used to say you hate killer sharks. Only that they kill (as this was the original assertion).
Another example: I really dislike that women stand in a queue to pay for something and then only when the amount is rung up do they go searching for their purse inside their handbag. Then they stand there putting their change away, while you stand behind them, unable to pay for your item because they're blocking your way. I really dislike that behaviour, but I don't really dislike women. I don't even really dislike women who display that behaviour.
And yes, I know this is painfully analytical but I did promise I was going to do exactly this in this post. :/
Is it normal that I despise Women?

Dappled: while I usually like your logic, I have to take exception in this case.
If one hates the fact that killer sharks kill, one should be able to equally hate all killer sharks without meeting all killer sharks. QED.

This.
Thank you for using actual logic, I love you.

I would tell you I love you too but I am bound on this post not to use my feelings. You know that I do, though.
