I do receive a lot of hate mail. While those who regret that I didn't drown in the December 2004 Asian tsunami, or wasn't terminated in one of the Bali bombings, typically do not specify which of my opinions so much antagonized them, my suspicion is that most of the hate mail I get is from anti-sexual feminazis.
I am not against all feminists, only against feminazis (who are against men on grounds of gender, which is on one level with being against a certain group of people on grounds of race, thus justifying the -nazi suffix).
Actually, I am a better feminist than many of the women who claim to be one, and here is why: for both men and women the basics are the same. Only the pursuit of optimal sexual experience, and after that, a gentle death, are a sensible value system. However, for women, such a value system is even less accepted publicly than it is for men. Genuine feminism targets this imbalance; it aims at the sexual liberation of women. Unequal pay at the work place, or similar issues, are of subordinate relevance.
Personally (and for practical reasons), I can be on good terms with people who hold different religious ideas.
Normal people don't waste much time on pondering the truth of what they consider non-existent. This is one of the features that distinguishes them from the inmates of psychiatric institutions.
A schizophrenic mind may come up with abstruse claims, such as that on every full hour, every person's asshole moves from the buttocks to the forehead.
However, during this event, time stands still, which is why we never notice this. But he knows that it is true, and all others just ought to believe it. Bingo.
The patient may not be aware of it, but the psychiatrist, and most everyone else, knows that this person qualifies for anti-schizophrenic medications. And for this assessment, we agree that we do not have to prove the non-truth of the patient's claims. It's his making of positive claims (something exists) for which there is no proof, what establishes his mental disorder. The physician does not have to prove that what the patient claims it exists, does in fact not exist (a negative claim).
