It is a thoroughly discussed and well-documented phenomenon that powerful people will take advantage of bigotry to divert attention away from themselves when it comes to taking the blame for society's problems and injustices.

In America, we have seen conservatives blame problems like drug addiction and poverty on immigrants or black people, rather than asking hard questions about the fairness of our economic system.

In Germany, during a time of severe global economic crisis, the public was convinced to embrace antisemitism, because the popular alternative, anticapitalism, was too threatening to those who held economic power.

The silent logic of a bigoted worldview is that "the system would be fine if it weren't for *these* people getting in the way". It's an easy answer to life's problems that feels vindicating, and does not require any actual material analysis. It plays on our most basic instincts, to protect your tribe and distrust others, whoever they may be, and it importantly does not require the bigot to engage in any self-reflection or personal growth, which can be a source of comfort for many people. ("I'm not part of the problem, it's them! I don't need to change!")

Now consider the ideology of mainstream liberal feminism.

How often have you heard the cliche "If women ran the world there would be no war!"

Or that the solution to economic inequality is "More women-owned businesses!"

Or that we need more female leadership because "men have been running things forever and look how it's turned out! #itsherturn"

Under this worldview, basically every problem capitalism creates can be simply blamed on men

Greed and exploitation, war, and violent crime are, to a liberal feminist, simply a product of men's patriarchal and domineering nature, and not the result of an economic system based on brutal competition.

Even in anticapitalist circles, capitalism itself is often posited as a "male sickness" with its origins in patriarchy.

Misandry, like racism, offers a simple, black and white solution to all the world's problems, and allows economic power-structures to go largely uncriticized.

That is all
