The idea that men in positions of power would not engage in misandrist policies is complete nonsense

Every time you bring up the topic of misandry, it all ends with "men are in power, so there can't be misandry".

The idea that the most important gender equality issue is how many women are in leadership positions is a mainstream idea. It is what the creators of gender equality indices focus on first.

There is an unfounded presumption that men in power cannot desire, strive for, or contribute to men living worse lives than women.

In fact, men in power can want to discriminate against men relative to women. The bourgeois man does not necessarily want proletarian men to live better lives than proletarian women. There is no scientifically proven barrier to his having such a desire.

We have reality. And in reality, the average man under imperialism is, for those in power, primarily potential cannon fodder to protect imperialist investments. The culture of viewing men as potential cannon fodder must be considered misandrist, no matter who created it. Did women create it? It is misandrist. Did men create it? It is misandrist.

This should be elementary and understandable.
