The gist is "understanding". You may understand and accept why someone holds a belief without agreeing with someone's reasoning.
Additionally i did not read this comment as "all women hate all men", rather it was a comment implying an understanding of the real issues women face and the bad behaviors men engage in

Fear of sexual violence is a real motherfucker, isn't it? Hating and fearing all men is a trauma response to living in patriarchy.
