History Main / RevengeAgainstMen

* Allecto, infamous blogger notable for her far right-feminist (ie, Misandrist) views and hyper-critical 'review' of ''{{Firefly}}'', has stated and/or hinted at in her blog the fact that she was abused as a child by her misogynistic relatives. She treats anything a man does as a sign of their active abuse or latent potential to be abusive, even something as minor as a boy asking his girlfriend for a hug. Her extremist views have even led her to labeling feminists who don't have the same level of hatred for men as Feminist-Lite.

* Allecto, infamous blogger notable for her far right-feminist (ie, Misandrist) views and hyper-critical 'review' of ''{{Firefly}}'', has stated and/or hinted at in her blog the fact that she was abused as a child by the men in her family, and that, in general, they were very misogynistic assholes. Because of this, she seems to view all men as women hating would-be abusers, to the point of believing every gesture or action is a sign hat they're horrible rapists that should've been aborted as a child (from a teenage boy watching porn to a NiceGuy asking his girlfriend for a hug), and gets her 'revenge' by posting about how horrible they are on her blog, including posts that criticize men who don't believe a woman who claims rape [[DoubleStandard while]] refusing to believe male firefighters when they claimed they were raped and demanding people respect lesbians while judging those who don't while also making homophobic comments about gay men, as well as accusing JossWhedon of being a racist, abusive, woman hater because of the way she [[InsaneTrollLogic perceived]] [[RonTheDeathEater his]] [[ActionGirl writing]] [[WaifFu and]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold characterization]] [[BrokenBird skills]]. While she has a following, most who come across her blog, especially more traditional feminists (who she actually refers to as 'Feminist-lite', because they ''don't'' view men the same way), tend to just think of her as a crazy psycho who needs help.

But the point is, she will not stop with just her abusers. As said above, she will treat ALL men that way. There may be AnAesop later on about taking things too far and the heroine ends up lonely and bitter. Or she may eventually find [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan that one guy]] that will treat her well, not abuse her and make her drop her bitchiness. Or she may just chose to become [[SuddenlySexuality a lesbian]] and never have to deal with men again. Or she may become some sort of a {{Dominatrix}}, embrace her newfound dominance and look for weak-willed men so she can control them.

And how is she going to do that? She can undergo an AdrenalineMakeover, taking some self-defense classes and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge destroy her abusers physically]]. She can set up a HumiliationConga for them. She can turn herself into a {{Golddigger}} and fleece rich guys dry, double points if they're also [[MealTicket old]] or [[UglyGuyHotWife ugly]]. She can also become a BlackWidow and kill them rather than live off them.

The heroine may have been [[RapeAsDrama raped]]. She may have been [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beaten to a pulp]]. She have had her children [[MamaBear taken away from her, or worse, killed]]. Her husband may be [[DomesticAbuser an abusive douche]]. She may be the unwitting [[TheMistress mistress]] of a married man, and finds out he has been lying to her all along. Either way, she has been seriously crossed by men or just one man and the abuse has been [[BreakTheCutie so extreme and so vicious]] that the heroine wants more than just vengeance against her abusers: she wants ALL MEN to pay for what was done to her.
