Awkward situation

I don't think you should hide the truth from him -
Girls are mean.
Then you have to tell him that once a month, when the get older, they get even meaner.
Then, some have a week of pre-crankiness, the week of during crankiness, and the week of after crankiness. So if he's lucky he'll have a good 4 or 5 days a month.

I see a correlation between these three.

If she was 3 I'd assume she doesn't fully understand her father's hate. If the father has a prison tat I'd say his social skills are skewed and that's what she's emulating.
Like CheffoJeffo says kids are mean, no point in your son losing his innocence over it.
RayB:
Ignorance is bliss. It's why we teach kids to believe in stupid crap like Santa Claus. There will be a time to explain the more intricate "why" behind things, but that time isn't now. Won't be until at least school where they teach tolerance anyways. No sense in giving him reasons to be insecure or doubtful of people at such a young age.
ChadTower:
Yep... all you need to say now is that "not everyone is nice." It's true and he'll probably accept it at face value. If he doesn't just tell him that's just how it is.
