Not my first time ranting about this term and felt the need to do so after seeing it used again and reminded how much I hate so much. Do any of you find "male-dominated" to be a misadrist or disparaging term? I think it counts as being as such and especially the way it tends to be used. I hate the negative connotations that come with it, like it's a bad thing to have men in anything and men in certain occupations and positions intentionally keep women out. It's always given such a terribly negative stigma and come off as divisive, which is no doubt intentional. Especially when people will say things like "Ensuring society isn't male-dominated anymore" or that certain jobs are no longer dominated by men. Why make it sound so ominous and terrible? Why make it sound like men being in anything or apart of civilization is a bad thing?

I don't believe male domination as misandrists define it is truly a thing and is mostly projection. The overwhelmingly vast majority of everyday men (and women too, for that matter) aren't in positions of absolute power and authority, and don't seek to subjugate anyone. I think it definitely counts as a misandrist term and another way of dividing men and women, and stirring animosity between them, when it's important for both to understand and support each other. Something neither misandrists nor misogynists want. I think "male-dominated" is a term long overdue to be retired and stricken from the public lexicon.
