Misandry Is Real And Just As Bad As Misogyny

No two ways about it. Misandry and misogyny both exist, both are equally reprenhensible, and it's time for the former to be recognized and condemned as much as the latter. It pisses me off so much when you have misandrists who deny misandry being real or claim that men never experience sexism or that misandry doesn't systematically affect men. Then what do you call there being a lack of campaigns to end violence against men, the constant failure to acknowledge male victims of things like domestic violence/abuse, rape, sexual harassment/assault, etc. men still being required to register with the selective service and how badly boys do in schools? Not to mention the beyond ignorant, sexist and dangerous mantra of "believe all women" and sexist campaigns like the stupid Gillette ad, only calling for men to be held accountable. When misandrists say that misandry and sexism doesn't affect men on a systematic level that's just another way they like to deflect from the fact that men also face struggles and challenges, and trying to make it that women are the only ones affected or worth caring about.

I equally abhor both misandry and misogyny. Both exist and both are equally wrong and harmful, and that's that.

I know, which is why I posted this. It gets under my skin when you have misandrists denying their form of bigotry even exists or that sexism isn't something men are affected by. Which is an unbelievably ignorant and stupid way of thinking.

I had an argument with a feminist who was saying that "men participate in rape" is not misandry.

Like, are you for real? Do you not hear the words coming out of your mouth?

It always amazes me how some people can be so fucking blind to their prejudice, even as they loudly scream about other people's prejudice.

And I bet she denies the fact women can also rape men. Which not only happens but in numbers much higher than believed or reported. Both men and women can be awful to each other, but feminists as usual only ever want to focus on instances of male on female. It's disturbingly similar to white supremacists who fixate on crime committed by non-white people, willfully ignorant to the fact plenty of white people also commit crimes.

They were progressive in admitting that women can rape men, but there's the ever-present myth that women make up 80% of rape victims. I point out that when you don't deliberately write off male rape victims as "made to penetrate", and actually count those as rape victims, then it's far closer to 50/50, but even then feminists say that women don't report all rapes, as though men always would.

Basically, any rationalization to not agree when the facts stare them in the face that men make up half the rape victims.

Both men and women can be awful to each other, but feminists as usual only ever want to focus on instances of male on female. It's disturbingly similar to white supremacists who fixate on crime committed by non-white people, willfully ignorant to the fact plenty of white people also commit crimes.

Completely agree, and in a way it's also even more disgusting, because while they admit that women can and do commit crimes, in their minds it's not feminist women who do that. Feminist women recognize the patriarchy and dealt with the internalized misogyny, so they wouldn't commit those crimes, and when other women commit those crimes it'S because of the patriarchy and internalized misogyny. Therefore, whenever women commit crimes, 1) it's men's/the patriarchy's fault anyways, and 2) women who are feminists would not commit these crimes.

The second is an unstated premise, they are never going to admit to it, but that's basically how they reason their way through it. Feminism is this moral beacon, so of course feminists must be morally better than the women who commit crimes.

The exception is of course male feminists, since because they are male some of them are predatory by nature, and it's totally acceptable to believe that male feminists would rape women. Feminist women would never rape men though.

Where can we find mainstream misogyny?

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
