Next time she starts saying derogatory things about you or other men, say politely, “Mom, it really hurts me when you say things like that about men. You may not be aware of how you are coming across but I feel like you don’t like me when you say that ‘all men are (fill in the blank).’ Please try to consider my feelings and refrain from saying bad things about men because you are also saying them about me. I know that you care about me and don’t want to hurt me that way.” With any luck, your mother will look upset or concerned and try to bite her tongue in the future.
It’ll never happen. The reason why is simple: women (and self-hating men) feel self righteous about their misandry. And when someone feels self righteous about their sense of superiority/victimhood, they see nothing wrong with any acting on it. Just ask that Hitler dude.
