Pointing out the misandry perpetrated by feminists, or in the ideology itself is often met with other feminists deploying the No True Scotman Fallacy I.e. "not all feminists!!", "they aren't true feminists!", "those aren't real feminists!!" etc.
But what if a feminist were to say this (or something along the lines of this) in response to the misandry being called out?
Okay, this is messed up, I agree. But you have to remember that all of this is a reaction to the rape and oppression of women by men throughout human history. So we shouldn't be surprised to see misandrist ideas within feminism and it's completely understandable.
How I came across this response wasn't directly from a feminist, I found it in this comment on a r/Mensrights post (but I wouldn't be suprised if a feminist has given a response like this, or along the lines of it):

In my opinion, getting a response like that would tick me off, as it's just another deflection tactic to excuse the misandrist actions perpetrated by feminists, many of whom are in high positions of power. This deflection makes the feminists who deliberately perpetrate misandry (especially on a large scale) the "victims", instead of the thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of men that have directly and/or indirectly suffered because of their actions, and of course they blame it on men (the "male oppression". Alright enough ranting,
What would be a strong rebuttal for such a response?
