The "misandry doesn't exist" mantra seems to be becoming increasingly fragile. At least misandry has already been found in the US criminal justice system.

A gruop of scholars Nathan E. Kruis, Ph.D., Kim S. Ménard, Ph.D., Nicholas J. Rowland, Ph.D. and Rae Griffith found that:

"Men experience bias in the criminal justice system as both offenders and victims of IPV. Consistent with prior research, male offenders, in particular, experience biased criminal justice responses merely because of who they are and not what they did (Brown, 2004; Cox et al., 2022; Kruis et al., 2023; Shernock & Russell, 2012; Russell, 2018). Implicit and explicit misandry present within decision-makers in the justice system contributes to the systemic discrimination of men involved with the justice system – a system that is supposed to be rooted in impartiality and fundamental fairness."

The authors are not a group of fringe scholars. Kim S. Ménard, for example, is a professor of criminal justice and women’s gender, and sexuality studies at Penn State Altoona. The authors of the article are quite cited authors in the academic community. And this article was published not just anywhere, but in the leading criminological journal Crime & Delinquency.

The authors emphasize that research suggesting the existence of institutional misandry already existed, and their study confirms what other scholars have already found. The study also challenges the mantra that discrimination against men is not systemic.
