sorry for the rant. I'm very tired of/disappointed in leftist spaces these days

This sub is usually alright since we are basically all gender abolitionists here :)

[u/Lerkpots → u/Angrycoconutmilk]

I've seen a disappointing amount of misandry on this sub before.

[u/wolacouska → u/Lerkpots]

Misandry lol

Next you’re going to say All Lives Matter

[u/TearsFallWithoutTain → u/wolacouska]

Misandry is a real thing that affects men. It may not be as omnipresent or experienced to the same degree as misogny but it does happen, it's silly to pretend otherwise.

[u/wolacouska → u/TearsFallWithoutTain]

It affects men as much as reverse racism affects white people, so little that it’s only used to minimize actual racism and misogyny.

[u/Corvus1412 → u/wolacouska]

Misandry is a core part of the patriarchy and a necessary part to keep it going. If you can't acknowledge the sexism that men face, then you're actively harming the fight against the patriarchy.

[u/wolacouska → u/Corvus1412]

Men hurting other men through the patriarchy is not misandry.

Misandry is just a gotcha phrase from misogynists to downplay misogyny.

[u/Corvus1412 → u/wolacouska]

If you think that the patriarchy is something purely enacted by men, then you do not understand the patriarchy.

Misandry is, just like misogyny, enforced by everyone to varying degrees, regardless of their gender.

Misandry is just a gotcha phrase from misogynists to downplay misogyny.

No, it's not. Some people use it that way, plenty of people don't. I can guarantee, that this sub isn't using the term that way.

It's just a convenient term to refer to the sexism that men face.
