yes.

all you have to do is flip the genders, and it's hate speech. imagine guys going on about how short women are disgusting and unworthy of them... they would be considered horrible people.

    If all you do is flip the genders then you're ignoring the context - power and history.

    There's a difference between punching up and punching down.

    No. Power and history don't matter in personal relationships. We are only responsible for ourselves as individuals.

    Power and history only matter at the institutional level. Stop mistaking institutional issues, for individual's behaviors. They are not at all linked.
