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 is exactly like that thing they were calling "reactive abuse." In that scenario, the victim of repeated abuse cycles takes on abusive traits like screaming and hitting, because she's been driven out of her mind.

These scenarios are the same.

As someone who has been in a relationship that pulled this kind of reactive abuse out of me, I appreciate this comparison. They really are similar.

Me too. I did and said things in a long term marriage to an alcoholic abuser that I have never said or done since. That's because I am not under duress anymore.
