(Finally posting this now that gender war/feminism posts are allowed.)

I have seen a lot of exchanges that go something like this:

Man: Society is unfair and biased against men. Bad male behavior is punished while bad female behavior is celebrated. Misogyny isn't allowed but misandry is.

Woman/white knight: That's not true. Look at what Andrew Tate supporters and redpill forums say about women! People just suck in general, both men and women.

What the woman/white knight misses is that there's a big difference here. The entire manosphere is a fringe group that has zero cultural or social power, while radical feminist ideology is entrenched in every facet of mainstream society, from academia to corporations to the government. Saying anything that's remotely critical of women will have you canceled, ostracized, fired, and more. Meanwhile you can hate on men all you want, and you'll get a resounding chorus of "yass kween slaay".

There is a plethora of evidence supporting this. Today, the axiom that modern feminism rests on is that men as a class collectively oppress women as a class. Radical feminists believe that this oppression far supersedes all other oppression, while intersectional feminists believe that it is comparable in some ways. Regardless, both types of feminists use this idea to 1) excuse any misandry against men because "muh CeNTuRiEs oF OpPrEsSiOn" and "muh iT's NoT sYsTeMiC", 2) dismiss all male problems by blaming it on "muh PaTRiArChY", and 3) advocating for women to be granted special privileges for these reasons- thus, essentially advocating for female superiority.

Since I'm sure some clueless people will ask for it, here are some concrete examples about how anti-male sexism and anti-female sexism is treated. The feminist professor Mary Koss helped encode into law that forced penetration is not rape, and (very successfully) led large-scale, systematic efforts to erase male victims of sexual assault. She is still a renowned and celebrated professor. More recently, a German professor denied an Indian male student an internship on the basis of "the rape culture in India", and nothing happened to her. Even more recently, a feminist professor at a prominent university wrote an article titled "Why can’t we hate men?", and faced zero repercussions for it.

Meanwhile, male Nobel Prize winner Time Hunt made a small joke about women, and he had his entire career ruined: he was forced to resign, was stripped of his honors, and his entire life's work was now for nothing. Not only was this reaction entirely disproportionate, it turned out that his remarks were decidedly not sexist- he was making a self-deprecating joke that got taken out of context by the media.

This is the world we live in folks.

The fundamental difference between anti-male sexism and anti-female sexism is that the former is relegated to the dark corners of the internet and shunned from the mainstream, while the latter is accepted in the mainstream and adopted by the most powerful figures/institutions. They are in no way comparable in scale and impact.
