After a professor took to the op-ed pages of the Washington Post to advocate for hatred of men, Northeastern University in Massachusetts both defended her ability to debate “controversial ideas,” but at the same time distanced itself from her views.

In her June 8 op-ed titled, “Why can’t we hate men?” Suzanna Walters argued that it is logical to hate men, and that women who say they don’t hate men are really “would-be feminists.”
