I think the fact she doesn't actually say the word nightMARE in the chorus but made you keep waiting for it is a proof of the good writing of this song. It feels needed at the end of that sentence by the melody, an its the opposite of dream, but she is saying-get out of your illusions about me and about women, this is reality. What you'd have with me is a hell of a night. Not a nightmare. Not a drean either. I'm amazingly powerful and I'm real and you could love it or you could hate but I don't give a damn.
She does say nightmare in the c part :)

When Halsey talks about men in this song, she doesn't (only) mean ex boyfriends. They're talking about men in general, the way journalists and people in her life act like they have any say in the way she lives her life. The "They talk shit, but I love it everytime" is mostly about rumors about her, though. This song is about Halsey coming to terms with the fact that she's allowed to feel angry at how she's been mistreated. For example, the line "I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers, and wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors" is obviously about beauty standars and they way that they, being raised their whole life as a woman, have had to deal with these expectations. "Come on, little lady, give us a smile" / "No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about" refers to how women are usually told to smile even when they feel uncomfortable, we must be good, kind and be silent, even if we're being harrased or we're in abusive situations. Whatever we do, women are "hysterical" and we're "always overreacting".
You should listen to Halsey's poem "a story like mine" to understand better the context of this song and the things she talks about here. I respect her so much for being brave enough to talk about these things openly.
