His experiences with misandry

Are you kidding me with this?

His first "experience with misandry" was that an elementary school girl was mean to him? ಠ_ಠ

Let's be real here. There's honest-to-god sexism out there, and it isn't in the form of little girls not being your friend. Not for nothing, but if she had said "no, because you're fat", or "no, because you're ugly", would anyone here be railing against the heavens?

Also, his reaction "you're supposed to treat everyone equally" ignores a lot of our own arguments about things like the wage gap (where we say that it should be equality of "opportunity", not of "outcome"). Here, there's no rule saying boys can't have floam, the girl simply didn't want to give him any. Kind of like there's no rule that married women can't be employed at the same pay (despite having the same experience), companies simply don't want to hire them.

Sixth Grade:

I don't really believe this story. Maybe it's misremembering, maybe it's made up, but it's so over-the-top villainous that it defies belief. Both of the stories of this teacher are too cliched too be believable. Maybe reality is unrealistic, and I'm wrong, but I for the moment am incredulous.

High School:

A girl said "I should go first because I'm a girl", and he's turning it into a screed about special privileges because of her gender ಠ_ಠ. Seriously, I've said to my friends "I should go first because... Suck it". Who the hell cares? And, again, the "it's racist to go by the color of the pieces" sounds so over-the-top feminist (and stupid) that one wonders if he isn't embellishing a bit in his recollection.

GRE Class:

A girl in a class he was teaching preparing them for the GRE (so these are college students) said unbidden "you shouldn't mix those chemicals, but you probably will anyway because guys never listen"? Either this guy has met some of the most ridiculous women in the world, or something is amiss here.
