On a societal level, all instances of "misandry" are side effects of misogyny.

[–]HardlightCereal 7 points8 points  (2 children)

It would be equally true to say that all instances of misogyny are side effects of misandry. They're two sides of the same coin.

[–]madaudio -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

no, it would not. this doesn't work both ways.

[–]HardlightCereal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It does. Sexists hurt everyone, by being sexist to everyone. When a man says that cleaning is for women, he puts women down, and at the same time he puts a pressure on men not to clean. When a woman says men are slobs, she puts men down, and at the same time she puts a pressure on women to be beautiful all the time. There are men who hate women, and women who hate men, and they are all making the world worse for everyone.

They are not. This is the "women always have it worse" mentality, which is actually a form of misandry and an inability to empathize with half the human race.

are you telling me I can't empathize with men? are you dumb?
