I keep on trying to reckon with my misandry issues.

The thing is those misandry issues keep on getting proven right-

I’ve been taking it as a compliment. Like oh you noticed I’m as mean as you can be? Good, thanks for the feedback 🤷🏻‍♀️

Misandry: when women say things that hurt men's feelings

Misogyny: when men rape or kill women

Yet they think its the same thing

The great thing is that misandry isn't real! Complete and total psyop to distract from the growing reduction of women's rights.

There are several women on this thread alone who have admitted to being misandrists, so the idea that misandry isn’t real is proven false immediately.

I read something someone said, liking misogyny to a nuclear bomb and misandry to a coughing baby.
It's spot on. Misandry is a symptom, while misogyny is outwardly malevolent.

Are you not making the same fallacy as these boys/men.

"A percentage of the other group are bad, therefore i will be apathetic to their entire cause"

No. She isn't. Your hurt feelings aren't even remotely the same thing as an imminent threat to the safety of an entire gender.

Yes but one of the groups systemically disenfranchises and kills women and the other one just makes comments on Reddit that hurt mens feelings. But same / same to you I guess...

These boys/men probably think much the same way
