    Dogs react to the subtle changes in behavior of their handlers.

    Find a dog owner that’s afraid of women. One that pulls the leash away at the sight of them, that tenses up and holds their breath and walks faster every time they get close. Then you’ll find a dog that “just doesn’t like women”.

      My daughters dog hated her father. Wouldn’t stop barking at him. She didn’t hate him, she moved in with him. She has no issues with men. I think you’re forgetting dogs actually have autonomy and instincts. Dogs are capable of sensing danger. There are some dogs who don’t necessarily hate all men, but they can instantly spot the dangerous ones.
