(5,928 posts)You seem to believe that "misandry" means "anything cruel or unfair that's done to a man". That's not what it means at all.
Misandry simply means "hatred of men". Hatred of men did not draft our terribly lopsided divorce statutes. Hatred of men did not disbar Mr. Bonaiuto, nor divorce him, nor drive him into destitution and depression. And hatred of men did not down that aircraft, nor any other aircraft in history.
It's indisputably true that you cannot help a despondent and demoralized man by ridiculing him. It's equally true that you cannot help him by convincing him that he is the victim of a nebulous mob of hateful feminists, when in fact he is not. If you do that, you will doom him to a life of bitter despair, frustration, and futility, for he will never be able to defeat or overcome such an imaginary, phantom foe.
