"Misandry isn't real"

Denying misandry..? Yeah, that is an example of misandry.

But this isn't because society hates men—in fact it's exactly the opposite; it's because our culture views anything not-man as being lesser and tainted.

..."All these issues that men face are not because there is any bias against men, its because its biased against women!"

I am getting real sick of the whole 'the reason you have any issues is because sexism against people who are specifically not you.' Its a fucking stupid idea and the mental gymnastics required are ridiculous. Just admit there is a problem, for fucks sake.

If that was just text I would have sworn it was satire.

"All of the issues that men's rights organizations trot out as evidence of “misandry” can be traced back to one of these other forms of marginalization. The fact that men are more likely to be injured or killed in the workplace is two-fold. One, women have traditionally been considered too weak or fearful to be able to do jobs that are dangerous and physically demanding (like mining or construction) and two, we live in a society that views poor people as being disposable and therefore does not require adequate safety precautions at work-sites that employ the economically disadvantaged.

The fact that mothers are more often awarded full custody of their children during divorce proceedings is because a) women are more likely to seek full custody and b) because of patriarchal ideas about gender that teach us that women are better caregivers and men are better providers. Men are disproportionately represented in issues like homelessness and suicide because asking for help or admitting to difficulty coping are considered to be feminine actions—and, of course, economic status, class, race and mental health stigma all have an impact on these issues as well.

Only when men deviate from traditional male gender roles that they begin to face negative consequences. But this isn't because society hates men—in fact it's exactly the opposite; it's because our culture views anything not-man as being lesser and tainted."

So, basically, men are usually viewed as economically disadvantaged, low class, and having mental problems. And society considers poor bastards disposable only because of those things, not in any way because they are men.

Guess what, they are not hated for being a male, they are hated for deviation from impossible standarts set by society.

Yay! Myth busted. *Takes a sip from a cup of male tears *( that's very funny, cause REAL MEN don't cry)

Feminists live to quote the dictionary to disprove ‘misandry’, I just point to the nearest war memorial to prove it.

not only real, but worse than you think

"Men cannot be oppressed because they are men"

What?

pazz · 2019-11-05T15:53:33+00:00

Lol this is another of those "women can't be sexist because of power Dynamics" claims. It's like when someone claims only white people can be racist...um excuse me?

How can the term be "obnoxiously ubiquitous" yet require explanation "if you haven't heard of it"

LilDickCasper · 2019-11-05T01:16:32+00:00

Let me just point out this is an article I came across while looking for statistics or proof of commonplace misandry in the UK. Really shocks me to see people flat-out deny the existence of misandry.
