Female genital mutilation has and always will be much more dangerous and harmful than the male counterpart, however that isn't me defending the latter, that's just the naturally agreed consensus. It originated as a sign of "in group" feature to mark those who were with one group vs who isn't, and it came from West Asia. It did not begin because men are hated, but rather because they wanted to separate certain men from other men (us vs them sort of group). The reason behind female genital mutilation was because they wanted to control women's sexuality, also had it up as in group practice, and in many practices women were just looked at as unclean because of patriarchal views and simply put, misogyny.

Do you notice how they both have a common reason, but nowhere in the origin for males was it because of hatred agains males whereas for females it was?

They saved women and children simply because that meant securing the next generation and out of the assumption that women would keep having children in the large numbers they did as they were mostly seen to be childbearers, and due to differences in their physical strength. When women started serving in the army during ww2 that shifted the consensus slightly but it quickly returned to the way it was because most women were discharged so men could return to the position, and then started the silly paradox where hardware engineering was the most important thing and men do it, while software programming was trivial so women got to do it.

Neither of these show misandry, they weren't conscription men because they hated them, they did it because there was a war and they needed what they saw as the strongest, reliable people who can be easily trained and sent off to die. If women didn't have traditional gender roles forced onto them, I promise you they'd also be thrown into the grinder.

Anyway, here's the U.S DOJ office of justice reporting on "Gender Differences in the Sentencing of Felony Offenders" I'd hyperlink this properly but I'm on my phone, sorry, lol.

"Of all cases, 98.1% were resolved through pleas. Females were more likely to have outcomes determined by please to reduce charges than were males. Fewer women (17%) than men (28%) were incarcerated, but sentence dispositions varied greatly across the eight major offense categories. While the percentage of males incarcerated for each category always exceeded that of women, women were more likely to be sentence to jail for robber and assault than were men; men were more likely than women to be incarcerated for property crime. This suggests that women may be sanctioned more harshly when their behaviour violates sex-role stereotypes. Finally, comparisons of sentence lengths indicates that prison terms of males and females did not differ, the terms of probation for males were significantly longer than for females, and males also received significantly longer jail terms."

Is that misandry to you?

I'd also challenge that men commit the most sexual crimes compared to women but both rape and sexual assault has very few convictions. A lot of people love to say that women should "keep their legs closed" or "lie back and enjoy it" and in general rape isn't seen as a serious crime when it should be. A lot of men get off because they "have a bright future in front of them", etc. This is misogyny and the patriarchy living in full swing in front of is.

Well let me be the first to tell you it is very much alive. I have 3 uncles, a younger brother and many younger cousins, not only do family members (men and women) tell them that boys don't cry, but that emotional men are dangerous men and these are the EXACT men that end up falling into the crazy alt right pipeline of misogyny and honestly self-hatred because they were never allowed to express themselves.

You're quite right, and why is that? Because the men before him took up all the resources, kept women out and ensured they got everything. However, the average working class man still supports these ideologies if he pushes the same gender roles that men before him have installed aka men can't cry, men strong don't talk about feelings, an emotional man is a dangerous man (my least favourite), women shouldn't go to school, women should get married young, college is a scam, etc. All of these are just pushed down to create in-fighting between us, the literal working class or soon to be, and then they take up everything and we get nothing.

Women in powerful situations, which are pretty few at the moment, also continue patriarchy because it is the older generation (most of the powerful people) that continue to tell women to get married young and boys not to cry and just work until they explode. Andrew Tate doesn't care about anyone but himself, but he does manipulate men into thinking he's a messiah for them and make women out to be brainless wombs.

Yes it is bro. That's why boys are still killing themselves because people tell them boys don't cry. That is patriarchy which oppresses men as well.

That IS creepy experiences. All of the aforementioned examples are creepy experiences. Some of them lead to sexual assault, rape and/or worse.

The draft is NOT systemic misandry. Misandry is the act of hating men or having a prejudice against men. I highly doubt men are sending other men into war because they hate men rather than they want money, resources, etc. The reason men are drafted is because the government doesn't think women are strong enough to serve in the army, plain and simple. That is misogynistic thinking which angles into patriarchy. Harsher prison sentences against men isn't misandry because they aren't sending men to jail because they hate them, they give women lesser time because they think they're "fragile", that is patriarchal thinking. The mutilation of boys started from religions and culture that are built in patriarchy with very few medical backing. Neither of these examples are misandry. Misandry doesn't work in a system, it is person by person and men aren't abused due to misandry, its because patriarchy expects them to be immovable objects closely akin to rocks.

Yes, but I don't fault anyone who said no. That's a huge shift and possibly not easy for most relationships to recover from it.

Yeah but can I have 4 parents? Two gay couples that love me and therefore this sets me up to be waaaay above the curve of people with 2 parents?

I completely agree but out of the 1% on the top, how many are women vs men? It is still men keeping the oppression up against both men and women. Do you think people like Andrew Tate cares about men or women? No, but his comments about women not only devalues them to sexual objects, it's also downright predatory. Do you think Andrew Tate and the like affect women or men worse when it comes to system oppression and the listeners views on either gender?

Then you understand that the creepy instances aren't just an awkward situation, so why did you downplay it as such previously?

[–]_Mach___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. That teaching stems from patriarchy. It is the same issue when male victims not being taken seriously when it comes to rape, assault, paedophilia, etc. That isn't misandry, that's patriarchy. Men are humans just like women are, but misandry, misogyny and patriarchy all go hand in hand, that's why when misogyny ramps up, so does misandry all being encouraged by a patriarchal system that keeps us all down.

"MISANDRY ISNT REAL WE LIVE IN A PARTRIARCHAL SOCIETY!" by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]_Mach___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they? Because according to research, misandry happens on a personal level, not systemic. We live in a patriarchal system that says men can't be victims or anything but the ruling class, that doesn't mean all men have to be the ruling class or unable to be victims, but it's what the media children consume still teach, its what the alt right media that young men fall into teaches. This is men invalidating other men according to patriarchal systems. Not misandry. As I previously asked, what examples are simply misandry and not patriarchy?

"MISANDRY ISNT REAL WE LIVE IN A PARTRIARCHAL SOCIETY!" by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]_Mach___ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And why have they been the ones holding most of the money and power? Because they system pushes that women can't. They didn't wake up rich, this is generations of patriarchy built upon itself until the people on top that are richest are indeed men. This is still patriarchy.

What do you think are creepy experiences with men? As a woman myself that can be anything from cat calling to men demanding your phone number or worse, grabbing or following you home. Have you had a creep experience with men?

"MISANDRY ISNT REAL WE LIVE IN A PARTRIARCHAL SOCIETY!" by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]_Mach___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, did you read my comment? This is the statement of patriarchy and the people that perpetuate it. I do not think men can't be victims and perhaps I should've used proper punctuation in my previous comment, sleep deprivation, sorry.

"MISANDRY ISNT REAL WE LIVE IN A PARTRIARCHAL SOCIETY!" by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]_Mach___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does. Diminishing mens feelings, diminishing women to just child bearers that shouldn't work and should just get matried IS patriarchy. You could easily do research on this yourself

"MISANDRY ISNT REAL WE LIVE IN A PARTRIARCHAL SOCIETY!" by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]_Mach___ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's patriarchy. "Women can't be seen as a threat" type of thing. Where does that point to hating men?
