No. Buddhists definately do not 'hate' women although, some schools of Buddhism do place men superior to that of women. This can be seen is all of the worlds major religions. However, practitoners of Tibetan Buddhism usually view males and females as being equal, particularly those who meditate on the deity 'Tara'.

Answer:

The Dalai Lama said the following:

There is a true feminist movement in Buddhism that relates to the goddess Tārā. Following her cultivation of bodhicitta, the bodhisattva's motivation, she looked upon the situation of those striving towards full awakening and she felt that there were too few people who attained Buddhahood as women. So she vowed, "I have developed bodhicitta as a woman. For all my lifetimes along the path I vow to be born as a woman, and in my final lifetime when I attain Buddhahood, then, too, I will be a woman."

Hopefully this may be useful to any women begining in buddhism.

How do you upgrade women in Buddhism?

I am afraid that this question makes no sense. There is no upgrading of men or women in Buddhism. Men and women are to be treated as equals. The only differentiation in Buddhism is between Lay people and Monks/Nuns. Lay people can marry, hold jobs, raise a family. Monks and Nuns dedicate their lives to reaching enlightenment and to aiding others. Therefore they do not marry or hold jobs.
