CMV: Misandry is as bas as Misoginy

Your post was determined to be low effort, and lacked enough context for discussion. At LWMA, we want to encourage topical discussion on male advocacy, not simply outrage and emotional reaction.

Spammy and/or rage bait posts that amount to "look at what X did!" detract from the overall discussion. We ask that all users add a few sentences and ideally a paragraph of their own thoughts (not copy pasted text from somewhere else) for the sake of discussion.

Posting screenshots from social media such as Twitter will almost always be removed as low effort. Within a more substantive discussion post they can be allowed as illustrative examples.

Exposing examples of misandry is more suitable for /r/everydaymisandry.

Personal rants are also likely to fall under this rule.

If you disagree with this ruling, please appeal by messaging the moderators.

In the post at the ask feminists sub people are dismissing misandry as a whiny response from men when called out from horrible behavior.

Some of them deliberately give the dumbest reasons men use to claim misandry while not acknowledging any others. Men apparently only cry misogyny when they are frustrated about not getting laid, according to them at least.

Others also claim that misandry even if it exists is just an answer to the patriarchy and not a fraction as serious as misogyny.

And others also claim that true misandrists that unjustifiably hate men are very very rare.

Long story short the train of thought goes like this:

Misandry doesn't exist.
Even if it exists, it's not serious and men are being crybabies about it.
Even if it is serious, is justified because patriarchy and misogyny.
Even if it's not justified by patriarchy and misogyny, only one in a billion women are misandrists.

Yeah i saw that and it always stresses ne out when people think misandry is always meant to be extreme as if we're talking comparing the heights of misandry to the heights of misogyny. There's plenty of easy to find examples of misandry;

Invalidating misandry in and of itself is one of them;
Non-preference related heightism;
Invalidating a man's sexual abuse;
Incel/femcel subs like female dating strategy.

The best course of action would not have to compare the two but more so talk about misogyny on its own because that would have made sense for a feminist sub

Considering that I saw a Feminist user say that Misandry is justified on the Anti Misandry reddit, I say yes it is just as much as bad.
