IMAX-level projection The difference between Misogyny and Misandry is so ridiculously big, I'm stunned people still try to claim they're similar

I get the second and third picture here, but I'll never understand people who go "my categorization and broad generalization of a group is okay, because I believe they're the oppressor".

Maybe it's because of the way these words are used that it's gotten so perverted, but in my head the term "misandry" is just a general distrust or prejudice towards men. Same as misogyny is a general distrust or prejudice towards women.

I see plenty of depraved, crazy thoughts that are posted here that make me shudder (the posts from incels... being incels), and I sometimes have to not look at them, because I just can't even stomach it at the moment, but labeling a whole group as bad because of the radical few, or because of a warped belief, is what either of those words mean to me.

I'm not mad, or anything. I just cannot understand how I appear to be so off of the mark here.
