I have a son and I love him with all my heart. I love my daughters just as much.
I'm sorry but this question is stupid. A mother loves her children...it doesn't matter if they are male or female.
Yes, I'm a feminist.

Do all men hate female - children or just 95% of them?

Actually, feminists usually don't hate one group of people.
We believe men and women are equal. If we're equal...it doesn't make any sense to hate one and not the other.
It depends on someone's personal affinity toward children, in the case of what you're asking.
I personally don't want children, but I love them all, any sex, male, female, or hermaphrodite equally. I can't imagine discriminating against children (OR adults) based on gender. It's those who CAN that I, at least, encourage to consider their views in a different light.

Some women just plain don't like children and it has nothing to do with feminism. If anything, feminism benefits them because it frees these women from having children they don't want without feeling like freaks or social outcasts. Parenthood is not for everybody and I get sick of those who think it should be the "Holy Grail" of adulthood, especially for women.

I HATE BABIES.
Ok, just kidding.
Hmm. Well, to be honest, I'm not terribly enthusiastic about children in general. But I'm still pretty young, so maybe that's just age appropriate. I did used to do some babysitting in high school (and still do sometimes for family and friends) and I have learned I do tend to enjoy the company of calmer, more well behaved children. Boys seem to (sometimes) be a little more wild. Not sure if this is natural, or if it comes from a "boys will be boys" attitude. But I don't "hate" them when they're behaving wild, be they female or male. It just stresses me out more and leaves me more exhausted.

No I don't think they do. I think most people who claim to be feminists only hear the propaganda that feminism is for equality between the gender they see that as a good thing and don't bother to look deeper into what they are subscribing to. So for the average feminist they don't have all the hate for male children that the full time leadership does. What they hate is men. They were sold a bad bill of goods like this little fallacy "women were chained in a kitchen" at the same time men were chained to the plow. "women had to fight for the right to vote" men fought for their right to vote as well.And at that same time many men weren't allowed to vote either you had to own land to vote.

Actually most feminists treat their children equally as this is part of the doctrine. Equality!!

I have feminist tendancies, but gravitate towards males. I had three sons and find males easier to work with, less inclined to be jealous of female colleagues.
We don't hate males, we just find them everywhere we go, so we make the effort to get along.

"Feminism comprises a number of social, cultural and political movements, theories and moral philosophies concerned with gender inequalities and discrimination against women. Feminism is also described as an ideology focusing on equality of the sexes. Some have argued that gendered and sexed identities, such as "man" and "woman", are social constructs. Feminists often differ in opinion over the sources of inequality, how to attain equality, and the extent to which gender and gender-based identities should be questioned and critiqued. Modern feminist political activists commonly campaign for a woman's right to bodily integrity and autonomy on matters such as reproductive rights, including the right to abortion, access to contraception and quality prenatal care; for protection from domestic violence; against sexual harassment and rape; for workplace rights, including maternity leave and equal pay; and against other forms of discrimination."
WHAT part of that definition mentions MAN-HATING?!?!?

I don't dislike children, but I prefer not living with them.
I like cats and dogs as well, but don't live with them either.
On the other hand, I like both men and women, and have lived with both.
How many anti-feminists like women, children, or themselves?
