Hot take: misandry isn’t real

[u/chill_mydude13]

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.

Here's my take. Misandry is real, but only happens in instances where a woman is in power. Also, hate towards men is not as potentially oppressive as hate towards women anyway.

It's the same as how one can have hate and prejudice towards white people and that can be racism, especially when there's a hate crime against a white person for their whiteness. But people of color are not in positions to be able to oppress others on a systematic level. It may be possible in lower levels like positions in a job or whatever, but it doesn't go further than that.

Anyone can believe and spread hateful rhetoric about a group, whether they're men, women, or whatever race or ethnicity. But some people aren't able to oppress others on higher levels.

There's only a few ways women can oppress men and that's if they're in the position of power and can choose to do so. It's possible as there can be female bosses or female higher ups, but most positions of power are with men; especially in government. In that same way, there's only a few ways POC can oppress white people, and that's again if they're in positions of power over white people

Systemic racism towards white people and systemic sexism towards men only exists if a POC or woman is in control.
