Under that definition, would you agree that this article titled "Why can’t we hate men?" is hate speech? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/why-cant-we-ha

  I don't think that article can be classified as hate speech using any reasonable definition. What I get from it is a disdain toward men for their behavior, particularly as it pertains to power and violence in a particular social/political context. I don't read it as, "I hate you because you have a penis," although there are certainly people who think that way (a very small minority as far as I can tell). As a person with a penis, I certainly don't get a feeling of personal animus from the article nor am I threatened by it.
