Misandry?
I mean, I guess it’s a thing, even if it’s not a particularly widespread problem. But most things labeled “misandry” are really just people playing that “[my gender] rules, [your gender] drools” game. And if you didn’t get over that in third grade, I suppose a word like misandry might come in useful. But other than that? Widespread and systemic fear of or discrimination against men isn’t a problem we face in our society.
Yes, somebody might occasionally write something like, “I wish all men were dead.” Or, “men are useless and should be exterminated.” But they generally don’t follow that by actually killing men.
I advise storing “misandry” right next to “I’m not anti-Semitic, but,” “reverse-racism,” and “you people always….” If you find yourself tempted to throw out any of those phrases, reconsider. You’re in a pissing-contest—and you’re probably about to dribble on yourself.
