He was then asked if he hated women to which he responds that he doesn't hate them, however he did get irritated with them differently than he did with men.[2]

After the stabbing, Mailer was committed to Bellevue hospital. "I was very upset, because me feeling was I committed a crime." His criminal lawyer had suggested him going into the hospital.
