What is 'misandry'?

As a male survivor of an abusive marriage, I need to say that there is nothing more isolating that the invalidation of the suffering I experienced just because it doesn't fit gender role expectations. In fact, there are women who use the expectation that they are often the abused to their advantage.

I know of one man who was jailed because his wife calmly held her hand over a lit gas stove, burning her hand, called the cops and said her husband held it over the stove. His story was summarily rejected. She knew what she was doing. She was a borderline.

I'll never excuse prejudice, bigotry or hatred of any group just because they aren't generally perceived as victims. They can be victimized more easily because people don't expect it.

Let us not judge anyone due to the color of their skin, but the content of their character, to paraphrase MLK. Let us likewise not judge due to the kind of reproductive equipment a person happens to have.
