What’s the meaning of the sentence “Put in the Order Of Reason”?

I read a sentence in a book, Word Power Made Easy, which was:

Sometime in your dim past, you were cross, scorned and deeply wounded by a woman (a mother, or mother figure perhaps?) Which is a clearly constructed defence against further hurt?

Does it mean that the “you” has started hating all the women including his mother just because she once scorned him. I am asking this because I don’t think anybody would start hating his or her mother just because she once scorned them.

What are the pros and cons of using English question format? I’m only asking this to explain that I know that this text is wrong. Don’t say

what I was wrong. I’m saying what I’m just asking because it’s the same text is the same text.

Does it mean that the “you” has started hating several women including his father because she once scorned him?

Is almost correct? You added “once”: “She once scorned him.” If it were not for “once”, you would likely know that bad things happened many times.
