Ranted about this before elsewhere and felt the need to share it, especially the other day seeing the infuriating news article about the proposal to make misogyny a hate crime in the U.K. but of course not misandry.

A rebuttal from misandrists who always like to deny misandry either being a real thing or not a serious issue (false, it's both real and serious, just as much as misogyny is) is when they like to use the argument it doesn't kill like misogyny. Which is a bunch of BS, misandry very much is a killer of men. It's a major reason behind the disproportionate male suicide rate, men who've died in wars and also covering up men who are murder victims (especially by female offenders). Let's not forget that misandrists more than a few times have shown genocidal intent towards men, with hashtags like #KillAllMen and the person who coined the (blatantly sexist and supremacist) "future is female" slogan literally advocated for reducing the male population to just 10%. You also have the "women and children" rhetoric which always intentionally ignores male victims of wars, disasters, terrorist attacks, etc. and never takes their suffering into any sort of consideration.

It's so sickening and infuriating seeing these bigoted idiots denying both that misandry is real and is very much a killer. That's bad in and of itself but then you've got misandrist organizations that enforce this notion as fact and it gets widespread as such. Misandry is real and it kills, just like misogyny. They're both despicable forms of bigotry with no place in a civilized and just society, and it's time for misandry to be recognized and condemned as such just like it's counterpart.

I'm also beyond fed up with people saying misandry isn't systemic or instituonalized, when there's countless bits of evidence proving it in fact is and far moreso than misogyny, which is at least rightfully recognized and condemned. Misandry however is always either dismissed or treated as a joke. The fact there's virtually no shelters that accept or help male victims, society and governments still fail to recognize male victims of any sort of abuse and violence (especially by women), things like rape and domestic violence still largely made out to be something that doesn't affect them, men still needing to register for the draft, the massive bias against boys in schools, etc. the list goes on. Misandry is like a malignant cancer that continues to fester. It causes so much more harm than people realize or even want to admit.
