Same reason acknowledging sexism (misandry) is more taboo than acknowledging racism.

It isn't. It's a fact. People stereotype, they have as long back as we know. It's a normal function of the human brain to stereotype, which inevitably leads to all the isms.

I know women who acknowledge that there are severe gaps where men are treated worse than women. Child custody cases, support for childhood abuse, etc. I acknowledge there are severe gaps where women are tested worse than men.

I think you're trying to make an issue out of a non-issue.

You have to realize that we are in a gender war.

It is an asymmetrical war. The public discourse on gender that is held in academia, the mainstream media, and the political arena is monopolized by feminists. The public discourse of gender almost always casts males and masculinity in a negative light. There are no strong organizations which represent male-specific interests in academia, the media, or politics, while the female-specific interests groups are numerous and strong.

The men that are fighting back are doing it guerrilla style. Men are the majority on internet sites like reddit and often dominate the comments sections of the mainstream media, contesting their anti-male biases. And some men fight dirty. They take their shots at feminists or women in general when the social conditions allow them to do so, and it is often the premise of humor that enables them. It's that dirty fighting that you call misogyny.

I think the situation is just going to get worse for a while longer, until male issues start getting a fair representation in the public discourse on gender. And given the prevalence of anti-male bigots such as yourself, who deny all the factual evidence of inequalities suffered by men, that day will be a long time coming. So you better learn to take the heat on a personal level.
