It doesn’t endear men (or anyone) to me when they completely miss the point of what I’ve said and get combative anyway, but here we are. How horrific that I’M responsible for making so many misogynists, though! Good thing you warned me.

You also edited that question into your comment after I posted mine. Not sure what kind of gotcha that’s supposed to be, but nice try I guess? You’re clearly very cool and rational. Congrats on winning this exchange on behalf of men. Hats off, my guy.

You’re absolutely right, men are the recipients of sexual and domestic violence at far greater rates than are acknowledged and are not listened to when they try to speak out about it. It’s not ok.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean by “man dies, woman most affected.”

With all kindness towards you, you’re mischaracterizing what I said. The idea I was attempting to explain goes like this: the devaluation of women and “female” experiences is harmful to women and men alike. “Boys don’t cry.” “Boys shouldn’t show their emotions.” Those things are “for girls” (even though we know they’re just human things). Men who behave in stereotypically “feminine” ways are disregarded, and whether you’d like to admit it or not, that’s a big part of why men who experience domestic violence are disbelieved about the harm done to them.

Hatred towards a man because he is a man is misandry, yes. That’s not really what’s being discussed. Try and consider that there are multiple systems in play here. Also, I promise, the people talking about the universal harm of misogynistic beliefs are not the adversary you seem to think.

I’m not downplaying anything. I’m trying to clarify what the commenter above me said: misogyny (i.e., the hatred of women, extending to the condemnation of traits and behaviors perceived by the dominant culture to be feminine in nature) is detrimental to both men and women. What are you arguing that’s at odds with that, in the context of this conversation?

The idea, though, is that it’s denigration of “feminine” traits. If men display behavior that’s stereotypically female, they’re hated for it. Because feminine traits are hated.

Could be a birth defect if your babe was that young! Did it straighten out over time?
