You can now find "Misandry" in the dictionary, but what has actually changed in the last 25 years?

misandry

Times are changing for sure because typing misandry is now recognized by spell check in many places online. While just a few years ago there was always a red line below misandry with no correct spelling available because it was not recognized in more ways than one.

Now i wonder how long it will take for the word feminism to get a second definition it deserves that includes its misandry.

This is an important foundation from which to grow and spread.

I love that the google usage example of misandry is "her brand of feminism is just poorly disguised misandry".

misandry is everywhere (except in the many dictionaries that either do not contain the word misandry or define it weakly as "dislike of men"). Misandry is a cultural phenomenon that tears women apart: they are often close to men (as fathers, brothers, lovers, husbands, sons, friends, coworkers, and so on), but they have learned to despise men as a class. ... the various stereotypes by which U.S. women now caricature men (e.g. the baby, the bumbler, the betrayar, the beast, etc).
