Dang, that really sucks about your formative experiences. I'm sorry for you and hope you don't have to spend the rest of your life harboring a secret hatred for half of all humans. I'm guessing that at some level you realize women are people and it's not healthy or sensible to despise them as a group, but it's not an opinion you can just "fix". Have you tried counselling for this? And frankly, yeah, it's disqualifying. Having read this comment, I wouldn't consider hiring you for any position or voluntarily working with you at all until I had some assurance that you're able to transcend this issue. (n.b. I'm a straight, cis, white, man)
