How do I get over an irrational hatred of women?

Since you didn't use the phrase other women, I'll assume you are a guy.

You only hate what you fear.*

So stop being a wuss and man up. Admit it, like you admitted your hate is irrational - nice job on that - then think hard about why you fear them.

Their smell? Their voices? The way they can tear your soul clear out of your body with a single look? Constant rejection? The way you despise them despite them being better than you? Your Mom?
I don't know dude, it's your fear, not mine. You got to pull it out of whatever chunk of your mind it is in. Ya might need help in digging that out if you can't do it on your own. No shame in that. We all need help sometimes. Worth doing, to not be cut off from half the human race.

I will say, to get you on your way:

Guess what - women are people first, women second. Individuals. Well, except for the characters in Totally Spies, I guess, can never tell any of them apart.

Start thinking of them as people. Not some race of malevolent demons. They are, with a few minor biological and psychological differences, just like you. They hope, they fear, they believe, they rage. They hurt too.

Try meeting a couple with your friends. And I don't mean sitting in the corner grunting and wishing for the evening to be over. I mean talking to them. Get to know them as individuals. People.
You'll be pleasantly surprised.

* Note: Don't be coming back to me with "Well, I hate broccoli, but don't fear it." That is a different level of hate entirely.

Interesting article came out. Stephen Hawking said the most difficult thing to understand is women, and I dont think hes kidding.

We women are something. I think we all dont or claim to not understand men, but men are really simple. We are the complicated ones!

But I agree. We are human first, then women.

I'd recommend therapy to find out where this hate comes from.
