Das Orten der Männerfeindlichkeitsquellen dort, wo Männerfeindlichkeit spontan auftritt, verkennt leicht ihre Wirksamkeit aus dem Subtileren heraus; das Ausspähen des emotionalen Gebietes als des einzigen Herkunftsortes dieses Hasses versperrt den Blick auf die geistig-intellektuellen Gefilde, in welchen seine Keime besonders effizient genährt und gezüchtet wurden.
Es ist im folgenden beabsichtigt, die drei Ebenen des Hasses zu durchwandern, die wir als a) die emotionale Ebene des Emanzenhasses, b) die gesellschaftliche oder Medienebene und c) die intellektuelle oder ideologisch-politische Ebene definieren möchten.
Erst die letztere dieser Ebenen ist es, welche die beiden anderen nährt, formt und zur Wirksamkeit befähigt.

Former SS Major Karl Hass, Kappler's intelligence chief, had long been listed dead by the German government, but Priebke in one of his many garrulous moments in the presence of journalists boasted of a 1978 trip to Rome, to revisit the past and having "dined in the company of Major Hass".
Hass, in an apparent attempt distance himself from yet more bloodshed in his purview, denied being present at the caves when the five were killed.
Four years later, Hass died at 92 in a nursing home in the Alban Hills while 91-year-old Priebke continues to pay his debt to humanity within the confines of a small apartment in Rome.
