Does everyone know that misandry is the word for male hating?

Answer 1

Misandry (IPA [mɪˈsændri]) is hatred of or strong prejudice against men. While usually ascribed to women, it may also appear in men themselves. The word comes from Greek misos "hatred" + andr "man". It is less discussed and less well-known than its counterpart misogyny (pathological antipathy towards women).

This term is sometimes used interchangeably with misanthropy but that is not correct usage, as misanthropy refers to hatred of humanity in general. Androphobia is the fear of men, but it is not an exact synonym of misandry.

There is a suggestion from both feminists and masculists that the "war of the sexes" arising from traditional gender roles is the primary source of both misogyny and misandry.

Some masculists maintain that misandry has been endemic for thirty years[citation needed] due to the spread of feminist advocacy in popular culture, and thus assert that misandry has become a social pathology. On the other hand, some feminists believe misogyny to be a verifiable social disease but are skeptical of the existence of misandry as an identifiable phenomenon[citation needed].

Answer 2

there is a lot much less confusion than you think of. in case you look over all the anti-father and anti-male regulations interior the U. S., you will see that they are written by capacity of feminist politicians and customarily have complete help from feminist ideologues. yet....they call it equality. humorous how if women persons are discriminated against, they get new law put in place to help them. yet whilst adult men are discriminated against, it extremely is called equality. No. it extremely is misandry, maximum regularly by capacity of feminists.
