idk in my experience, both misogyny and misandry stem from ego. we should all be trying to eliminate cynicism and misanthropy. with respect to the urgent reality of how imbalanced it is, it cant just be a men issue; take for example, women with internalized misogyny. thats not gonna just be resolved because men wake up, we have to all want to grow. i wanna hear your take though, so please dont take this as a shot at you… im here to learn🗿
“misandry stems from ego” is crazy when women are taught from the moment they gain consciousness that they should be careful of men lmao idk what’s so egotistical about seeing the misogyny in everything bc it is still in fact everywhere. we can’t walk outside at night alone or dress however we want without fearing of getting assaulted and our beauty standards are pedophilic. men and women will never be truly equal unless there’s misandry
thats a great contribution but as feminists we should support people who support all women. if we allow even one women to be oppressed they will use it against all women. look at how theyre using trans women to reduce the rights of all women. no one will be free unless we are all free of oppression.
women as a system and black people as a system are oppressed groups so it’s much different than men hating women and white people hating black people. idc if this ruffles some feathers but it’s true. it’s not normal to want to abuse or kill anyone for oppressing your gender or race but it’s fair to hold them accountable. hence why i say misandry is not real nor an issue. it doesn’t effect men in the real world whatsoever
it does affect men in the real world tho, ive experienced genuine discrimination and serious mistreatment just for being male-passing. if you get mistreated for being white, thats straight up just perpetuating the issue; and its harmful to invalidate, and not recognize, the fact that those actions are driven by hate — regardless of the group. not that it doesnt make sense; its not normal to be shitty, but if we continue harmful bickering… then healing cannot happen. thats my interpretation of ts
if misogyny existed before misandry and still effects women daily then how wouldn’t throwing misandry into the mix not make us equal?? can’t forget all of the decades systematic abuse just by saying “oh well we’re all “equal” now women aren’t being abused as severely as they used to be so let’s just be in peace” lmao
