What brother hates his mom, hates his sister, hates his spouse, or hates his daughter? Rather if a brother hates women or has contempt of women, why would he want to be married in the first place?
Does the word being used fit the actual definition or should another word and it’s definition be more aptly suited to The Recovery Movement?
I propose another word instead, sexism. I’ve heard many a message where the speaking brother is sexist in his prejudice or attitude.

That's a good observation I think! Yes, the world likes to go to extremes and categorize accordingly, doesn't it? It is quick to label things as "hate"- if you don't condone a certain behavior, it gets labeled as hate and the person a hater.
Hate and outright sexism are just manifestations of the flesh. And, let's face it, we all have these propensities in the flesh. But hallelujah, we've been given a new nature of love, joy and peace in Christ!
