A few years ago, I met a man in my graduate program who also runs a state agency. We were friendly classmates. Both married. Over time, he occasionally called to discuss school or professional topics. It all felt pretty normal until recently.
You and SloMoFo need to hookup, there's little doubt you're soul mates.

I never asked him for a job though. He basically recruited me just to pull this crap.

He’s already calling me 3 times a day when I don’t work for him. I don’t want to deal with that stress. I have 3 kids, the youngest of whom just turned one. Nor do I want to spend 10-20 hours a week commuting. It’s not even worth the headache to attempt to negotiate.

why I "hate men." It’s not hatred. It's the experience of being treated like a plaything by mediocre men looking for an ego boost over and over for years. I am "fatigued."

I have news for you.. It's not just men that do this shite...

My wife has never had this problem. Neither have any of my female family members or friends.
Maybe it's just you?

I guess if you really were part of the business world you'd understand this is just bad business people, male and female do this crap
I got stories it would actually make you lose your appetite and you could lose weight

No doubt he reads this post

You sound incredibly entitled. You allowed your hatred of men to color your perception of them situation. You were courted by a potential employer who valued your skillset to the point that after you rejected their initial offer, they upped their offer tremendously.
Do you have any idea how much such sn offer would mean to most people?
Instead of being grateful and declining it respectfully because it wasn’t the position you wanted, you chose to get offended and burn a bridge. Your internal perception of men caused you to project negative intent on a situation that likely didn’t have any. Instead of gratitude, you felt disgust and resentment.
It's not lost on me that you don't realize how absolutely ridiculous you sound in your post OP. "His texts were about him and not about how I feel." It's a job offer/negotiation. Are you serious with this dumb shite? Get the frick over yourself lady.

Why don't you get a real job

What you did was teach him just how much hassling it takes to get your attention... you let your boundaries slide and blur out of the typical female instinct to play nice.
There's a book you oughta read if you haven't already- The Gift of Fear by Gavin DeBecker.
I'm not picking on you- but in all reality, people operate within the boundaries we set. Females generally have squishy boundaries because we don't want to carry the mantle of some ball busting bitch.

Women do this type of crap too.
Get over yourself. It’s not because you’re a woman.

I read that whole thing not seeing who posted and thinking it was a dude. I was saying to myself: “The guy hiring has the gay and wants some of OP.”

And you need some serious deprogramming.
How about you use all this misandry energy to keep men out of women sports?

Months passed, and he intermittently brought up the job. I expressed polite interest
You kept leading him on. You never really wanted the job, but you kept showing interest, discussing the job, and even went to an interview.
But now you're upset because he contacted you a lot and want to blame men for you letting it go on. A firm 'no' months ago could have saved a lot of hassle. Simply blocking his number would have done the same.
I fail to see how this is an issue with men in general.

This type of thing happens to women all the time. Your daughters have to or will have to put with this same bullshite.
They will put up with much more bullshite from other women. It was never male coworkers I worked with that had issues. It's always the females creating disharmony, usually among themselves while the men just wanted to do their jobs in peace.
