      i didn’t say misandry is equivalent to racism, i said the exact same argument is used to justify racism.
      but there’s definitely a lot of overlap between prejudice based upon sex/gender vs prejudice based upon perceived race.

      and rape culture isn’t really a thing, it’s not a culture… it’s a problem but that’s the wrong word.
      there’s like, chinese culture and such… there’s no, like, People of the Rape… misogyny is an aspect of many cultures, but it’s not the culture itself and typically rape is extremely prohibited… and had the death penalty in most cultures throughout history…

      misandry is an understandable response but, ultimately it’s not leading towards any solution…

        People use arguments to justify everything. Sometimes they’re right, sometimes they’re wrong. This is a stupid point.

        and rape culture isn’t really a thing, it’s not a culture… it’s a problem but that’s the wrong word.

        If you can’t be bothered to so much as type “what is rape culture” into google, I’m done talking to you

      It is misandry to generalize and discriminate against men because “all men are dangerous scumbags” or something.

      Besides, it doesn’t help anyone, really, and fosters extra anxieties and aggression.

      We absolutely need cultural shift that would help everyone (both women and men) to expose rapists and any sort of harassment. We need to eliminate any cultural acceptability of those actions that remain.

      We do not need to propagate hate based on gender/sex.

      Absolute majority of men are perfectly normal human beings, like absolute majority of black people aren’t criminals, or absolute majority of gays are not child molesters or whatever the stereotypes were. Besides, all of those traits are immutable.
