Feminism is reactive with latent misandry in both men and women

So now it's not that it doesn't exist, but that it's not a big deal. :roll:

Keep moving the goal posts.
There is no male equivalent to misogyny. It doesn't matter that someone made up the word and now a plethora of awful people (MRAs, MGTOWs, in general antifeminists) repeat it ad nauseum

Rofl...it's been around since 1878.

And, yes, it's a real thing.

I have provided you quotes that prove otherwise. If a man or woman thinks all men are rapists they are a misandrist. It doesn't matter if they are the ****ing king of the world or some homeless person on the street either.
 
$20 (s)he is one of those people who think you have to be in a "privilege/power" group to be an -ist of whatever form because they have made the definition for these things to include "systemic". So blacks can't be racist because they aren't in a position of power in society and women cannot be misandrists.

Mainstream power+privilege social justice is devoid of a class analysis and is therefore empty of most anything useful

Nice scare quotes tho

Rofl...where's my $20?! Sorry, that's not how it is defined and quotes are used for many things. It can be for emphasis, sarcasm, specificity, or just actual quoting. I don't think I've seen them used for fear. Hmmm....scaaaary quotes. Hey! I think you might have something.

No, you just have been programmed to believe a false definition of these things. If you were to say "systemic ______ " then it's totally on point. Sorry, but you don't get to make up your own meanings to words.
 
I didn't say it wasn't around. But since when has it been a (although laughably) point of discussion in modern sociology or politics? 20 years?

Doesn't matter. You said it wasn't but with MRAs or whatever (I guess you don't want men to have rights?) but it's been a concept since before there were groups for you to whine about.
 
I'm not saying male privilege isn't real. That's a topic for another thread. I just think it's quite tragic for the first female president to be so poorly received as Hillary Clinton.

We don't want the first woman in office to be a disaster even if she likely won't be the last, it's just that we would prefer pretty much any other woman in office.

I was really hoping that was the whole point of the "I'm with Her" slogan, but at this point, I sincerely doubt that Jill Stein has any chance of being elected outside of that obscure nomination process by the House of Representatives. Maybe that was the plan all along.

Oh God, I think I'm going to be sick of Hillary after her first week in office. I dread that she's got some latent misandry that she's just been waiting to unleash on us.

"Scare quotes may serve a function similar to verbally preceding a phrase with the expression "so-called"[8]—they may imply skepticism or disagreement, belief that the words are mis-used, or that the writer intends a meaning opposite to the words enclosed in quotes.

I didn't use the phrase wrong, my guy

I don't see the point of discussing what amounts to an individual prejudice being as influential as near universal societal hatred of women. Discussions of misandry more often than not are derailing

Because women's response to rational discourse that they don't find agreeable is to absolve women, and blame it on men?

I imagine that any future presidents who are part of a minority group will be recieved poorly

More likely she's going to continue the Obama doctrine of drone warfare and making concessions to the Right

Sorry, but there is no "near universal" societal hatred of women. At least, not here in the Western World there isn't.

Since when was that a thing? Why do you think feminists made progress anyway? Do you think that perhaps men helped them with that? Do you think nearly all these men hated women too? Geez.

Skepticism =/= scary. So now we have two words used improperly.

Oh really? I guess it depends what you're talking about. Question, do you think blacks face a greater threat of being killed by police officers than whites?

I disagree. I've posted in another thread citing a study claiming that 65% of women involved in the study were sexually harassed. If I were to track down similar studies with similar numbers would that be enough to change your mind? Is large scale sexual harassment not a expression of misogyny?

So sexually harassing a woman is a sign of hating women? Ahhh...no.
 
clearly its an expression of endearment

That's not much of a defense of your argument. It seems weird to me however to say that a guy that approaches a woman like a doofus(which is mostly what these cases are) because he finds them physically attractive hates women.

Most cases of sexual harassment are guys approaching women like a doofus? In what world

If you cite a study that makes ridiculous claims about sexual assault, or sexual harassment, I'll just ask you to watch this silver haired fox for five minutes.


Sure, women are sexually harassed, but this is not the 1950's and men still face violent retaliation for anything that other women or men perceive as socially unacceptable. Men are harassed by women too.

Actually, sexual harassment is just a conspiracy to expand the number of men for whom older and less desirable women are willing to make concessions like, yeah I married a sex offender, he's half my age and only a tier 2 offender.

Christina Hoff Sommers is the best.

here's a video addressing sexual assault on campuses in response to another wrong person on the internet, since you think AEI videos are to be taken serious
