Yes ok it's my experience, but my experience is very real, just like yours. I don't worship men but at the same time I see women for what they are, at least in my country, and it's ugly. If there were many examples in my experience of women who were different, I'd notice them simply because they would be a stark contrast to the norm, but it's so rare. Everyone's experience is different, I know that, but I can only make judgments based on my own. That's all any of us can really do. Even though I had a bad upbringing, and a bad mother who is a terrible role model, I like to think I'm not completely crazy, I like to think that I do make reasonably good observations. It's not like I don't have any good judgment at all, after all my husband is a great guy.
It's clear that there is disconnect between your observations and reality. If your take on women didn't make that obvious enough, your evaluation of men made that entirely clear. How was your relationship with your father? Would I be going out on a limb to say that it was much better than the one with your mother? Something has caused you to interpret women in an overtly negative manner and men in an overtly positive manner, because your observations do not match up with reality.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
