Noticed this on T.V. this evening.

I don't think you're overreacting.

It's easy to get depressed reading about all the problems we face. A bit of good news, even if it seems small, is refreshing to see.

And it is a sign of progress - one of many I've begun to see in the last year or two. I think we're starting to get somewhere.

Considering how much in denial some feminists are that misandry even exists, this is a pretty good thing.

I already saw a tumblr feminist post about it.

I wonder how many feminists called up to inform Trebeck that "misandry don't real."

I also found this from September 29 2011

Double Jeopardy, 4th column, "Surfing the OED", $800 question.

Misandry is "hatred of" these.

TIL a new word. Thank you. I didn't know there was a term for that.

I think it demonstrates how fucked up things still are when Misandry is a clue on Jeopardy. Think about what that implies.

I noticed this as well. I actually knew the answer due to time spent on here.

As a side note that was just about the only answer I knew from tonight's episode. Tournament of Champions is hard...

It depends on how much the question was worth.

Sometimes it's supposed to be something that most people don't know.

And if they had swapped the genders, who here is willing to wager it all that they wouldn't have gotten the answer in the time limit?

"After swapping genders, becomes Misogyny."

watching Jeopardy this evening and one of the clues that came up was "After swapping genders, becomes Misandry" with the answer obviously being "What is Misogyny".

If the question had been worded more specifically (like 'opposite of' rather than 'swapping genders') then "what is androphile" might've worked too.

AugustBurning · 2013-02-19T09:31:46+00:00

I'll be honest, I didn't know what misandry meant until about a year ago when I started lurking this subreddit, and I'm a pretty educated guy.

I saw it as well.

People still watch jeopardy? Are you forty years old and divorced?
