Misandry is not hate, somehow

The political spin on this is that it's not possible to be horrible to your oppressors, and men are oppressors of women. Hate speech towards men is actually rightful criticism of the patriarchy...

Most of the time, when we generalize and use the word men, what we’re actually referring to is the effects of patriarchy. What we’re actually intending to communicate when we say “men are horrible,” for instance, is “the ways in which men are socialized under patriarchy, as well as how that benefits them and disadvantages everyone else, sometimes in violent ways, is horrible.”

But that’s kind of a mouthful, isn’t it? So we use men as a linguistic shortcut to express that.

And before you come at us with “But that’s generalizing,” it’s actually not. Because it is true that all men are socialized under and benefit, to some degree, from patriarchy.

Essentially, laws and rules aren't for them because they are also made by the patriarchy, who also tend to give them their allowances.

It's so hypocritical how feminists say it's not up to men to talk about how feminism should be because they don't experience what it's like to be women, but then they say that they should be the ones to decide what male issues are valid and they men should be allowed to address them.

Patriarchy? Oh yes... Santa Claus!

Thanks for this post. Of course I just had to say something on that thread and now they're REALLY mad.
