I doubt that's Short's opinion, or indeed anyone else's.

Yin's probably referring to Diana Russell's 1978 study of San Francisco
women, which found a 44% lifetime prevalence of rape and attempted rape.  
Obviously, one figure from one study in one place cannot be extrapolated
to all women everywhere at all times, but it's still a frightening 
result, and it was important in raising awareness of the huge amount of 
rape happening underneath the radar.

I doubt, however, there are any surveys which show most women dislike men.  
For that matter, although the net is full of seething, gibbering male
loathing of women, I doubt there are any surveys which show most men
dislike women. We'd be stuffed if we *did*, since nature to its bias 
draws.
