In reply to the discussion: Keep misandry out of feminism [View all]Prophet 451
(9,796 posts)80. Misandry doesn't exist?
I hang out a lot on "Fundies Say". One of our top 100 is from a misandrist who proposes that all males should be castrated. Another memorable poster proclaimed that all PIV is rape. Rare? Absolutely. But you do your own cause no favours by pretending it doesn't exist.
