If you’ve stumbled into certain feminist corners of the Internet lately, you may have noticed the word misandry cropping up. No, not by men’s rights activists whining that feminists hate men (or at least, not just by them). By feminists. Who think it’s funny to use it ironically. But let’s back up a little. What exactly IS misandry, you ask? It is literally the hatred of men (in ancient Greek, mis means hatred, and andro means male or masculine). It is the inverse of misogyny...inherent in this word misandry is hatred. And inherent in phrases like ban men and male tears are cruelty and violence...What feminists really hate is the patriarchy—the web of institutions that systemically oppress women. And to tear it down, we need as many allies as we can get. Telling half the population that we hate them, even in jest, is not the way to do that. - Sarah Begley, TIME What do you think?
