kitschnsync: Never here did I say that I hate anyone. I don't hate men, nor do I even feel prejudice against them as a group. I don't hate you even, I just think you are misguided and pathetic. Don't mistake an acerbic tone for hatred. In explaining what it is like to have actual gender discrimination and hatred used against me in my everyday life (and my experience is reasonably benign compared to queer women, women of color, etc.), to face a neverending series of microaggressions every. fucking. day...I just don't have to be nice to you. Sorry that I didn't fucking spoon feed you and then cuddle you so your fee-fees weren't hurt. You can't dictate what gender inequality is when you haven't had to experience it.

You're the one who is trying so desperately (and imaginatively!) perpetuate the idea of some kind of victimization for the world's universally (politically and socially, and economically) dominant group. Jesus Christ. No one is trying to say that men cannot be discriminated against ever (they can! for pretty much anything else! race! being queer! not being traditionally masculine enough! socioeconomic status! for being a trans! So much stuff!!!!!!), just not for being a man in and of itself. I have been more than generous in my explanation of this, as you, kitschnsync, cannot understand what it is like to really, truly be discriminated against for your gender. And as someone whose entire life is dictated by real, existing sexism, I don't owe you shit. Read some books. Listen to some women. Quit while you're behind.

ANOTHER GIF 4U SINCE YOU ASKED SO NICELY

I say good day.

I should say more empathetic people. Aside from this glaring issue, you are probably good people.

I can't respond seriously to this just because it is so. fucking. ridiculous.

Yeah, misogyny is shorthand for oppression. There isn't a time where someone is misogynistic and does not contribute to the oppression of women.

Misandry isn't real. Neither is heterophobia. Neither is 'reverse-racism'. Masculinity is never challenged. And no one is subject to any oppression or true (socially & politically) damaging hatred simply for being a man. I'm done repeating things that you should already know as a human living in the world.

Sorry to Jen for hijacking this thread on a fantastic, thought-provoking article article, and sorry to TheMisanthrope and kitschnsync that you aren't better people.

Also, its not parroting if it is literally the correct answer. "1+1=2?! Way to parrot your kindergarten teacher. Learn to think for yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nice of you to deign to come back and look at my pictures!

Your gender enlightenment aside, ultimately this article isn't about you or I (or how wrong you are and how right I am). It is about people who are often victimized, abused, and othered and finding ways of empowering and supporting them. Can we work on this as a collective? yes?

AAAH also, can't resist-FROM THE DICTIONARY:

sex·ism
[sek-siz-uhm]
noun
1.
attitudes or behavior based on traditional stereotypes of sexual roles.
2.
discrimination or devaluation based on a person's sex, as in restricted job opportunities; especially, such discrimination directed against women.
Origin:
1965–70; sex + -ism, on the model of racism

You lose! But really, you win, since you cannot be oppressed by sexism.

Excuuuuuuse me. "Cite" is what I meant. Typing quickly at work.

Also, via a quick search of the Seattle Public Library catalog under "misandry": six results, five of which are by either Gloria Steinem or Valerie Solanas, neither of whom would be sticking up for the idea of "misandry", and one that vaguely agrees with your point. One.

I wish you well, but I also wish for you to shut up now. (Really, I'm trying to save you some embarrassment here)
