Saw this stupid blurb on a book at work that was among the go-backs at customer service earlier. I forgot the name of the book or the author, but it was about a woman's murder back in the 60s and the back summary went on about the usual violence against women, misogyny, etc. and how misogyny is something that rules our institutions. I'm not denying misogyny exists (as does misandry), but it's so tiresome to constantly hear the narrative about how it's supposedly institutionalized, which is a favorite retort of misandrists when they either deny misandry exists or claim it lacks institutional power unlike it's counterpart. Even though there's plenty of evidence to suggest misandry is very much institutionalized and misogyny isn't in Western nations and on the contrary is always given attention and activism directed against it. It's just another stupid way misandrists like to divide men and women, deflect from misandry and issues affecting men and enforce their victimhood narrative. I'm so fed up with it and I'm sure many here share these feelings. With how men and boys continue to have serious issues affecting them continue to be ignored and trivialized, how misandry is never taken seriously and how women and girls continue to constantly receive special treatment and protections and such, just how is misogyny so institutonal in the West?

The fact men still have to register for the draft, that society and governments still largely fail to recognize and condemn female on male crimes, how biased schools are against boys and how biased the courts and legal system are against men, and the entirely ridiculous notion of "believe all women." Let's not forget how abuse shelters and rape crisis centers often turn away male victims. Misandry has an infinitely stronger case for actually ruling our institutions and being very much institutionalized. It's a big elephant in the room, so to speak.
