I don't know what gives you that idea.
God has always been concerned about women and their welfare. Although he told our first parents that because of their rebellion, imperfection would lead to women being 'dominated,' this was never God's purpose. (Genesis 3:16) He had created Eve as "a complement" of Adam and as a companion for him. (Genesis 2:18) In the Mosaic Law, given to ancient Israel, Jehovah specifically condemned the mistreatment of widows and instructed the Israelites to treat them kindly and help them.—Exodus 22:22; Deuteronomy 14:28, 29; 24:17-22.
Jesus, in imitation of his heavenly Father, did not follow the widespread tradition of his day that denigrated women. He spoke kindly to women—even those who had a bad reputation. (Luke 7:44-50) Moreover, Jesus was pleased to help women who had health problems. (Luke 8:43-48) On one occasion, when he saw a widow mourning the recent death of her only son, he immediately went up to the funeral procession and resurrected the young man.—Luke 7:11-15.
Women were among Jesus' early disciples and were the first to witness his resurrection. The Bible speaks highly of women such as Lydia, Dorcas, and Prisca as examples of hospitality, compassion, and courage. (Acts 9:36-41; 16:14, 15; Romans 16:3, 4) And early Christians were trained to show women respect. The apostle Paul told his fellow missionary Timothy to treat "older women as mothers, younger women as sisters with all chasteness."—1 Timothy 5:2.

If you are referring to the fact the since Eve was the one decieved, God ordained that the male was to be the leader of the family, that does not constitute hatred.
Both Adam and Eve set the precedent for all human beings to follow. The women got the pains of birth as their reminder and the men got the pains of toiling to support his wife and children.
The women, however, are considered as redeemed in God's eyes through the birthing process. The men had no such redemption clause. That was probably because Eve was fooled by Satan, but Adam willfully disobeyed God.
Remember, Adam was not off in the fields somewhere while Satan was talking to Eve. He was standing right next to her. He had every opportunity to stop Eve, yet did nothing. Then, when she handed him the fruit, he just ate it, knowing it was wrong to do.
So, the men actually got the shorter end of the stick, but that is exactly what they earned.
It is not hatred, but more like just desserts.

God loves all of his children. I don't understand your question. Why would you think God hates women. Really, I would like to understand.

God loves women. God loves everyone.
He sent His son to take our place on the cross. He sent His son to die in our place. That is great and unconditional love.
