Hearing "Misandry only offends never harms" from a Psychological standpoint makes no sense

One doesn’t need any special knowledge of psychiatry to see the flaw in their argument. There have been many posts here of misandrist women murdering men or boys, even their own sons out of hate. Clearly killing a male is more than just offending them.

Sadly, too many people just accept such obviously untrue feminist propaganda.

Misandry only offends?

The draft and titanic, even today modern day wars the main victims are men. I don't get how men don't bring it up more often, men were targeted by their gender then used as a weapon and most died. The few who came back have such severe PTSD that no human should have to face. Weeks in trenches watching your brother in arms get blown up, die from infected wounds all whilst your sister and mother are at home.

The titanic, so many men's lives were taken. There was free space on a boat, a 16 year old (or he could be 18 basically very young) went on it. They threatened him with guns to come out. His crime? being born male, wasn't even old enough to be considered a man.

Male shelters were opened, the woman who opened them got so many bomb and death threats she had to close them down.

How many men's plea of domestic abuse got ignored to the point men no longer call the police because they know they won't do anything, worse sometimes the man is arrested when he is the victim? or men who got steamrolled by court having to pay for another adults upkeep?

I can't speak from psychological perspective but misandry 100% does more than just offends. I think it's the reverse in the modern day it is misogyny that only offends.

The White Feather campaign.

The fact that hundreds of men died in industrial accidents in a year and no one cares, but some women die in a factory fire and then we have safety regulations and laws.

Erin Prizzey, the founder of the first DV shelter was villified for wanting to start one for men.

When I mention male suicide, it's often the same mouth that will at first try to hijack the conversation that women will try it more, but so what, because who cares if a bunch of white men kill themselves.

The vast majority of violence against women isn't misogyny anyway. It's interpersonal shit. Just search "killed his roommate" to see how often that happens to men living with other men. And of course when you involve romance, children, jealousy, partnership, bills etc. you have a recipe for even more friction.

I don't think anyone is like "I hate women and my girlfriend is a woman, so I'm gonna kill her because I hate women."

DARVO: Deny Attack Reverse Victim and Offender

Feminists use the same tactics as psychologically manipulative people do in relationships to gain power and control.

Shame, guilt, gaslighting, twisting every interaction into leverage, implying there’s malicious intent or harm done by men who are too privileged to even understand themselves.

It's just delusional denial, ego and selective empathy. It's basically women being so blind and ignorant to the effects of misandry, and how prevalent it is, to recognize the harm it's doing and then getting defensive about the idea that women are not the oppressed minority they make themselves out to be(which is, ultimately, another tool at their disposal that they can use to shame, attack or manipulate men).

But it's clear that misandry does kill. Violence against men is a significantly greater problem than it is against women, and you can see this in every statistics you can find. Not just in civilian violence, terrorism, political murder or war but in law enforcement or, more recently, in the ICE victims too.

A lot of women also don't want to recognize the idea that misandry kills because a lot of those deaths are indirect, and because it dismantles their idea that they are living in a patriarchy. Acknowledging all the ways men are left behind or pressured into early graves would also mean acknowledging that they are not actually living in a patriarchy but, rather, a gynocentric society. They don't want to recognize all the harm that is being caused to men because, in a lot of ways, women are responsible for directly causing harm to men, mainly in how they treat men, and they do not like having to deal with that kind of accountability.

When young, a misandrist teacher was abusing me (when it came out she then confessed that she hated men and torturing boys gave her great satisfaction) and I had attempted suicide to make her abuse stop. Luckily my suicide attempt was unsuccessful.

My good friend was married to a truly disgusting misandrist who never missed an opportunity to let us know men are utterly evil, liars, abusers (coming from an abuser like her it would be funny if it wasn't so sad) and women deserve something better than losers like men. None of we male friends would ever go near his house unless she was gone.

After 19 years at his job he was laid off. He was in a very fragile state and needed a few encouraging words. Instead, when his wife found out she called her equally man-hating sisters over and they all tore into him. They told him terrible things, men are a waste of space but a man with no job doesn't deserve to live, that he's now proven himself as unworthy to live as most men, that he's proven what a male failure their sister married, and more just like it for HOURS! When he couldn't take any more misandrist abuse he went into to the bedroom and took his life.

Years ago, I was brutally attacked by a woman who hit, kicked, gouged, and cut me shouting that I deserved it because I'm a man. I needed hospitalization afterward.

Misandry almost killed me when I was young, did kill my friend, and years later put me in the hospital. So you can tell me misandry just hurts feelings but misogyny kills, but my answer to that is that in this part of the world MOST misogyny doesn't kill anyone but merely hurts women emotionally, and SOME misogyny kills. My further rebuttal is that misandry USUALLY hurts men's feelings and SOMETIMES kills too. It almost killed me, did put me in the hospital, and certainly DID kill my friend.

When women murder their children they're more likely to murder a male child (about 60% of the time) than a female child (about 40%). When adult women murder a senior citizen parent in their care they kill a male about 80% of the time and only murder a female 20% of the time. So nobody can tell me misandry doesn't kill!

In high school one radical feminist teacher referred to all of us male students as "male messes". If you got a bad grade on a test she'd hand it back to you saying, we're only men, not expected to be able to think. She insulted, belittled and put down the male students, making them feel utterly worthless constantly. After she retired somebody finally noticed that the suicide rate among male students while still in her classes was over 20% higher over all those years than any other teacher's, although the suicide rate among female students of hers was perfectly normal. Those additional young men she belittled into suicide were her victims, whether intended by her or not.

So, the whole absurdly oversimplified, "Misandry just hurts feelings (like it NEVER does anything more), but misogyny kills (as though it ALWAYS does that)" thing doesn't fly with me. I know differently. And I happen to also know it from my own personal experience.

Psychology is an industry of buffoons, clowns and asshats and -- yes, 99% feminists. The field has normalized misandry.

Late-Hat-9144 · 2026-01-30T18:23:40+00:00

Especially when toxic misandrinists will often say that any sort of psychological harm is abusive towards women... so if its abusive towards women, it stands to reason its also abusive towards men.

Most things feminists/misandrists say do not make sense. They make followers, and those followers determine morality, group morality. They don’t consider the real world, and the world sadly considers what they say to be true.

janedolores · 2026-01-31T00:36:28+00:00

Right. And these are the same people who say words are violence

Emergency_Title1521 · 2026-01-30T20:30:53+00:00

Doesn’t misandry harm literally in a biochemical and psychological way? I’ve read somewhere I unfortunately didn’t save that experiencing harsh words and rejections from women triggers anxiety and pain receptors in men’s brain, so doesn’t this prove misandry only annoys total nonsense?

World-Three · 2026-01-30T22:34:42+00:00

It's tactless.

I was raised to think of women with the highest esteem and to respect them and be kind to them. If I wasn't raised around siblings, a mother and additional people who continuously eroded that monolith in my mind, I'd be much more impacted by misandry than I am.

In an "ideal" situation, imagine a man who was raised that way without that image being shattered, being destroyed constantly by who everyone told him was the most precious thing he could ever love. Someone who was and is constantly corrected when he rightfully points his finger back-at the accuser for being wrong. "No, you're wrong, it's your fault." Multipled by "Believe all women" and sustained by the idea that any criticism you have towards women can and is typically deemed misogyny...

I used to always tell people as a joke that Femism only hurts the people who care, but it genuinely does. The men who want to do better for women, are possibly sent in an emotional spiral of inadequacy that they can't get rid of. The good men they describe is never you, but the bad men they talk about is always closer to you than good. Your deeds are what they say is the bare minimum.

By that design, you're a failure.

It's just bird-brained parroted mentally lazy gaslighting rhetoric.

Misandry kills slow from the inside. It steals money. It steal property. It denies custody and alienates fathers. It contributes to property damage. It contributes to homelessness. It destroys reputations, sometimes to the extent of affecting getting a job. It undermines in every way. It contributes to mental illness.

It hurts more than men - they even attack other women out of jealousy or competition. Misandry does EVERYTHING short of SA (by the standard definition, which only focuses on penetration) and homicide (and in some cases, they literally get away with murder).

Just like everything else they argue, it relies heavily on logical fallacies and manipulating emotions, and on projecting/deflecting from their own wrongs. It depends on the DARVO technique (Deny, Attack/Avoid Accountability, Reverse Victim and Offender).

SidewaysGiraffe · 2026-01-30T18:10:08+00:00

Probably- but you don't need one. Many of the most common forms of misandry ARE violence: battle slavery, genital mutilation, ignoring homelessness (in an immediate sense, I mean; deeper society-wide issues aren't exactly easy for one person to solve, and it's not fair to expect them to, but in more personal cases, a woman is MUCH more likely to receive help from just about ANY person or organization)... the list goes on.

I have, in my wallet right now, a photocopy the registration card the SS sent me. I am VERY interesting in knowing how, exactly, being forced into a battle to shoot at people whose only crime was being born male in a country whose government mine doesn't like, and who are in turn forced into battle to shoot me, is anything other than violence.

What it's NOT, however, is hatred- and you seem to have conflated the two. You can hate something without being violent towards it, and sadly, be violent without hate.

Once you realize most people on that side of the aisle are masters of semantics, you realize their words mean literally nothing to them and don't have to waste the energy trying to understand them

crabpipe · 2026-01-31T07:42:46+00:00

You cannot logic someone out of an illogical viewpoint.

Njaulv · 2026-02-02T13:08:32+00:00

The piece of the puzzle you are missing is the feminism is social Marxism where they view as an ideology, not logically, that women are the oppressed an men are the oppressor.

Argentarius1 · 2026-01-30T18:51:31+00:00

Anyone who has ever made a claim about stereotype threat (which doesn't even replicate in follow up studies) has no business making that claim.
