What do you think this poem is about?

Man can't hate woman.

If hunting does not mean hating
Or if preying is not hating
Then man is not hating woman.
Man hunts woman or prey on her
From her ardent desire for her.
Man's chase of her is not from hate.
Love denied, he may be angry.
Love shifted, he may be angry.
Anger does not amount to hate.
Positives can't hate negatives.
Man cannot hate woman.
