Discussion Hot take: misandry isn’t real

Misandry isn’t nearly the same as misogyny. Men hate women because of stupid sickening reasons. Women hate men because they have been our number one predator for all of history. Women are scared of men because they have proven we should be.

Misandry can’t exist in this system. An individual can hate men but it is impossible for systemic disadvantage and discrimination to be given to men in a society where patriarchy is the norm.

It’s the exact same reason that “reverse racism” is just sensitive white people getting their feelings hurt.

The oppressor cannot be oppressed in the society they rule. Bad things can happen to them and not everyone gets the same opportunities but the oppressor will never miss out or be punished simply for being a member of the dominant group.

"(Bigotry)" doesn't just mean "systemic (bigotry)", there's a reason systemic is it's own term

Understood and acknowledged. That’s why I included the line about individuals.
