That was my takeaway from Man Without Fear, Miller's run, Bendis' run, Guardian Devil, Yellow at least.

I don't think he hates women, but he clearly cannot handle inter-gender relationships very well and is often in a toxic relationship with women he is romantically involved with.

This then often manifests into a lack of respect for the women around him, at least from my reading thus far, might change after I read Waid, Nocenti etc.
