Does anyone else feel like misandry is becoming more common than misogyny?

Misandry has been normalized.

No one bat's an eye when women publicly call Men Predators, Creeps, Rapists, etc.. and say that's what we are by nature.

Women are comfortable using and abusing men to the point where they boast about taking advantage of them for free drinks, free, food, free events, and etc. - it's so normalized and woman are so comfortable with this that it's posted publicly and there is little to no push back or even acknowledgement that this is abusive.

This IS Misandry Normalized.

I'm not sure if it's more common or not (you'd have to do a study on the numbers for each) but it's definitely more accepted. You can basically say anything short of "kill all men" and no one will bat an eye.

Depends on where you look. Maybe misogyny is more common on Twitter, I don't know.

But misandry is very common in mainstream media and mainstream discourses while misogyny is none existent in the mainstream.

I don’t know for sure, but I have noticed that in the media, misogyny is called out (as it should be), whereas misandry is encouraged. Social media is even worse- lots of misandrist feminist pages getting millions of followers, tweets that vilify men and paint them as abusive rapists get 700K+ likes. Misogyny and misandry are both disgusting. What I will say is that a lot of modern radical feminists do use the term “misogyny” a bit too loosely… if a man disagrees with a woman on anything, he’s a misogynist. If a man tries to explain his viewpoint to a woman he’s a “mansplainer”. And if a man is upset by being considered more dangerous than a bear (which would be perfectly reasonable to get upset with), he’s a “misogynistic manbaby who can’t take no for an answer- this is why we choose the bear” and it’s just disgusting.

In western countried, there's more of an argument to be made for us living in a matriarchy than a patriarchy. Yes, misandry is WAY more accepted.

It has always been more common! Misandry is so common it’s not even realized. It’s always hiding in line 21 of life.

Misandry is normalized. So normalized many don't think it's a real thing. And because it's so normalized it's flagrantly bandied about all over social media to cheers, encouragement, and comradery.

Whereas misogyny has had a constant and evolving societal pushback for decades and decades.

Misogyny is still a thing. And large enclaves of it exist online in particular spaces. Once it breaks out of those enclaves though, it's taken and shut down but the court of public opinion. And often it results in real world consequences such as loss of job opportunities, etc.

Misogyny is not normalized by greater society. Anytime a high profile case of misogyny or alleged misogyny breaks - mainstream discourse calls it out.

Misandry is all but a cryptid of societal problems at this point.

Agree with every word

I can't remember a time when insulting generalisations about women were more common than insulting generalisations about men. The only way I can see anyone arguing that misogyny was more common than misandry in any core Anglosphere country during the last forty years, is if they stretch their definition of "misogyny" to cover more than just insulting generalisations and include things like "objectification" (however they define that, and I will scrutinise their definition) and non-insulting discrimination (e.g. marketing "pink" products to women).

I acknowledge that my memory, and even my perception of the present, could be biased by the fact that I'm going to more easily notice an insulting generalisation if it targets me. In the world of non-anonymous people with actual reputations to lose (e.g. LinkedIn for a quick example that one can see without having to leave home), I have a hard time finding any examples of misogyny whatsoever, while examples of smugly expressed misandry abound. I expect that it's less difficult to find examples of misogyny in places like Facebook, where there is a segment of users who are retired or unemployable and therefore don't worry so much about their reputations, yet even there it seems like there are far more examples of misandry to be found.

When it comes to crime, both men and women will use whatever methods are most effective for them. For men that's more likely to involve physical strength, while for women that's more likely to involve psychological manipulation, and there are still plenty of examples of male criminals who relied on psychological manipulation and female criminals who relied on physical strength (even to overpower male victims, e.g. Jodi Arias and Sahara Fakhir).

”. . .misandry is. . .more common than misogyny. . .” because it always has been.

You have never, at any point throughout all of human history, seen a time where it was reasonable, balanced, typical or acceptable for a man (or group of men) to legitimately ”HATE” women.

The issue, in modern times, is that women can/do/will slap the misogyny label on any man engaging in any activity or behavior that they simply don’t like: Disliking certain stereotypical female behaviors is not misogyny. Believing in gender roles based on the biological & physiological differences between men & women is not misogyny. Even those men who want nothing to do with women other than “intimacy” are not necessarily practicing misogyny. Acknowledging that 95+% of the most dangerous, dirty, demeaning, demanding occupations around the globe (especially those related to the infrastructure of society) are held by men is not misogyny. Acknowledging that women have proven they don’t want to do those jobs (regardless of the elite income possible) is not misogyny. Stating that the WNBA does not warrant the same pay as NBA players is not misogyny. Stating female reporters have no business in an NFL locker room while men are naked, showering & trying to get dressed to go home is not misogyny. Illuminating the bias in the family court system is not misogyny. Believing a particular woman is physically less-capable of efficiently completing a task or duty than a particular man is not misogyny. Getting a paternity test for your children (when 30+% of fathers are raising someone else’s kid) is not misogyny. Demanding a prenuptial agreement (when half of marriages end in divorce) is not misogyny. Desiring evidence to support a claim a woman is making is not misogyny. Siding with Johnny Depp over Amber Heard is not misogyny. Calling women “ignorant” who claim they would ’choose the bear’ is not misogyny. Saying male comedians seem to be infinitely funnier than female comedians is not misogyny. Finding Halle Berry more attractive than Lizzo is not misogyny, etc etc etc etc etc. . .

Random experiment.. Let's do the math.

There are 795,000 registered sex offenders in the US. (2024 stat)
There are 165.8 million men in the US. (2022 stat)
That equates to around 0.48%.

Math says: 99.62% of US men have never been charged with sexual assault.
