Honestly, I’ll see somebody online call out a misandrist comment and think “ooh maybe, they’ll be worth following” and it’s all a load of conservative drivel- a lot of misogyny- you don’t fight misandry with misogyny- men and women are on the same team. A lot of these conservative men also have a very outdated traditional view of gender- men should always be “macho, the providers” and women should be the “effeminate homemakers” who “must have kids by the time they’re 30” (which is just bullshit- not every woman wants kids). You also see a lot of racism and transphobia from them- they tend to be Trump supporters.

They often throw around the schoolboy insults “beta”, soyboy”, “cuck”, “weakling”- to any man who’s not traditionally masculine/strong and I just wonder “how did we get to this point”? Why is it that the main people sticking up for men and for equality, are the same ones that chastise men who don’t conform to their outdated ideals of masculinity, who berate women who don’t conform to their outdated ideals of femininity etc? Instead of treating them equally? t doesn’t make sense- if you say you believe in equality, you should mean it. They call out problematic mindsets whilst exhibiting problematic mindsets of their own.

Misogyny is abhorrent.

Misandry is abhorrent.

Equality ≠ Supremacy of one gender

Men can be traditionally “masculine” or traditionally “feminine” and everything in between- there’s no one size fits all approach.

Women can be traditionally “feminine” or traditionally “masculine” and everything in between- there’s no one size fits all approach.
