One of Feminism's BIGGEST myths: Misandry isn't real

-

A recent study has found that yes, misandry is real, yet feminists continuously deny it exists. Why ?

Spend any time on a feminist space and you'll find man hating within a minute. Garaunteed! I often play this game, visit Mums Net Feminism or any feminist space, start a timer and see how long it takes until I find a misandrist post. 

Let's do it now..... Ok, 25s after being on MumsNet here's the first misandrist post.

Often when you read feminist spaces, or watch their YouTube videos, they will be sexist, bigoted and prejudiced. Anti men. Whenever feminists are confronted about misandry in their communities they will always either play dumb ("What do you mean by misandry?"), deny it exists ("Misandry is a myth by men to derail feminist conversations"), start with Whatboutism ("Misandry is nothing compared to the systematic misogyny women have endured for thousands of years") or simply minimise ("Misandry is just a 14 year old girl saying mean things in the internet").

The truth is that feminism can NEVER be about equal rights for women whilst they allow, encourage and even upvote and celebrate misandrist posting. 

The very fact that forums will BAN YOU simply for being male shows that bigoted, sexism in the feminist world is rife. On Reddit there are a large list of subreddits where you are excluded access simply for being male.

How on Earth can feminism achieve gender parity when it, itself, is simply a bigoted, hate ideology ?

Even if we take feminist arguments at face value they are easily unpicked, one by one.


What do you mean by misandry ? 

SIMPLE. It's the reverse of misogny. The dictionary definition of misandry is "dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men (i.e. the male sex)". Is the top picture misandrist ? To me it clearly shows contempt for the male sex so yes. It's is the very definitionof misandry. It is almost unbelievable to me that feminism, so easily grasping the concept of misogyny is completely unable (or more likely unwilling) to understand misandry.

Misandry is a myth by men to derail feminist conversations

If misandry is a myth then how come there is a whole subreddit DEDICATED to collecting, cataloguing, and sharing the daily issues of misandry that men face ? Feminist conversations are derailing themselves by allowing, even encouraging, sexist bigotry. By denying misandry women are allowing sexism to thrive. It's always been strange to me a gender so held back by sexism is so keen to perpetuate it.

Misandry is nothing compared to the systematic misogyny women have endured for thousands of years

This is never, ever backed up by any sort of data. I think, women have had a rougher deal in society, in some ways over the centuries. I don't know, because let's face it, it wasn't all negative. Being told to stay at home, keep home, and look after the children can be infinitely more preferable than being put in dangerous jobs with huge loss of life i.e. mining, military, cotton working etc.

However this is simply an excuse to allow sexism in feminist communities. It does not address the core issue that feminists are often sexist themselves.

Misandry is just a 14 year old girl saying mean things on the internet

We have countless examples of misandrist serial killers. The UK has Joanna Dennehy whilst the US had Aileen Wuornos.

I myself was turned down for a job, at my local shop, because the woman running it said they were "Looking for a young girl". This was illegal, it's one example.

The thing is when you look at the weight of misandry in female spaces, even if 90% of it is just women letting of steam and venting, that's 10% who are not. That is 10% who are publically verbalising their hatred of a gender. It seems impossible to me that some of this does not spill over into real life and in the interactions the misandrist, bigots have.

Conclusion

Misandry is real, it exists, it's pervasive in feminist spaces. Feminists play it down, try to dismiss it, so that they can continue it's practice. When a feminist tells you misandry isn't real, she is telling you she hates men. You should listen to her, clearly.

Even in the face of clear scientific evidence as to the existence of misandry feminists always bury their heads in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist.

How far modern feminism has fallen from it's wonderful beginnings

I was recently walking around London and came across a statue, I've often walked passed on Charing Cross road near Leicester Square. The statue is of Edith Cavell somebody I know little about. Edith Cavell was a nurse during World War 1 who was celebrated for treating injured soldiers on both sides of the conflict without discrimination. She was fiercely brave and helped 200 servicemen escape occupied Belgium and return to Britain. She was caught by the Germans and executed for failing to observe medical neutrality. The night before her execution this brave woman said "Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone". This is 180 dgerees opposite to the toxic feminism that we currently see in any female space. The absolute glee which fourth wave feminists seem to take in active, bigotred, transphobia is completely unsuprising when you see how sexist & prejudiced modern feminism has become. In my view, it is no longer about equal rights. It...

The myth of women doing the majority of housework

-

This is often trotted out in female spaces with depressing regularity. You can see it here , here and here  and any search of any feminist space will bring out the "Men expect women to do all the housework" trope. There are even studies on this which, on the surface, would seem to confirm that women do more housework than men.  Digging into these studies and it becomes quickly apparent they are extremely skewed and don't provide a very thorough picture. Measuring all household work There are two main methods used to measure household work done. The first is a survey, where you simply ask what chores people do, assign time to them and from that you find who is doing the most. This has the benefit that it's less intrusive, you can do a 30min survey and get your data, but you lack accuracy. A more intrusive, but more accurate method, is to keep a time diary. That is people note down what they are doing and from that you tot up the time on housework. The problem with th...

The oppressed can't be the oppresor - why feminists accept sexism in their spaces

-
Image
In any feminist space you will find misandry, quickly and easily. Whenever feminists are asked about the sexism in their spaces, or movement, they generally reply by disputing that misandry exists, minimising it's effects or with whatboutism stating that male misogyny effects women far worse. The huge problem with this is that feminism has already accepted sexism at it's core. It sees sexism everywhere and because of this has now accepted sexism.Misandric comments, ideas, man hating are all  absolutely rife in feminist spaces . Claiming that misandry is fine because the oppressed can never be the oppressor is not borne out by history which tells us a very, very different story. Oppressed people, who accept prejudice to their oppresor have a strong tradition of repeating their oppression in an even worse way. If you look at the actions of Israel in Palestine then you can see, very clearly, how an oppressed people (the Jews in World War 2) really are very, very capable of being ...
