I hate this term and feel it's long overdue to be stricken from the public lexicon. Men in real-life aren't invincible superheroes and are just as vulnerable, but misandrists of course have completely de-valued their lives and made them trivial. So men killed during tragedies like a shooting, warfare, disaster, terrorist attack, etc. somehow don't matter and their deaths and suffering are less tragic due to gender? And the "children" part often really refers to girls, and de-valuing boys' lives is a whole other level of awful. For boys to basically be told being male makes their lives worthless and of no value and especially when they become adults. It blows my mind to see misandrists defending it claiming women/girls are typically more vulnerable, but they forget men/boys also are. What do they think, that if you're a male and particularly an adult male that you're somehow immortal and thus anything that happens to you is no big deal or tragedy?

The term is horribly sexist and not only to men for obvious reasons but women as well for how it infantalizes them and absolves them of any agency. It's equally misogynistic too in that regards as much as it is misandrist. It needs to be stricken.
