N.B. misandry is not real because men are not systemically oppressed (uninternalize your reddit MRA today: men suffer some drawbacks under the patriarchy but ultimately still maintain it due to the large amount of privileges they receive under it!)
As a white AMAB, I have to deal with both misandry and reverse racism. It’s tough. Prayers up in the chat
The drawbacks men suffer from under patriarchy are also all directly linked to how they’re broken and molded for their role as opressors. The suffering of men under the patriarchy is inseperable from how they are trained to inflict suffering upon others. There is no non-reactionary activism for men’s rights that isn’t just a specific angle of feminism, the one that is concerned with understanding and overcoming toxic masculinity.
“Misandry isn’t real because there’s no systemic backing” my god will hexbear stop generating dumbass takes
In before I get called a reactionary and some user pretends I’m some “misandry is JUST AS BAD” moron like the Divorce Guy in the OP just because I think it’s fucking stupid to tie in “has a systemic and institutionalized backing” to the definition of a fucking word, like the very concept of misandry is unreal and cannot exist unless you’re living in the Feminist Femocracy of Manhatea
I think it’s fucking stupid to tie in “has a systemic and institutionalized backing” to the definition of a fucking word
But that’s how oppression is defined in serious, intersectional theory and has been for some time.
cool story, but “misandry” isn’t “the oppression of men”
literally half this website just making up definitions for shit for the other half to get mad about and going HUH WHY’S THERE 100 COMMENTS every time it happens
because you don’t need a constitution enshrining bigotry for the concept of bigotry to be real (this comes off as very lib parliamentarian rules type shit to me honestly) but I guess you disagree so my comments get removed and I get called a racist reactionary divorce dad or wtf ever
