Well I guess I brought it up because I didn't realize there were two different ways to interpret, "I don't believe misandry exists."

I just wanted to be very clear where I was coming from.

I could tell you I believe there is no such thing as a groundhog because the only legitimate term for that animal is "woodchuck".

Seriously, what Philstar was saying isn't that the attitudes you're arguing don't exist; it's that they don't think they can be accurately titled "misandry" and thus, "misandry" does not exist. I'm not saying I agree completely with them, but I think it's pretty obvious that's what they meant. (If I'm wrong, please correct me, Philstar!)

Doesn't domestic violence towards men count as misandry because of "why they hell you let your bitch go tramp on you, bro?"

The issue you're talking about is toxic masculinity's response to domestic violence against men, right?

Anyway, I'm not sure how I'd answer that. I'm arguing with Herpy's interpretation of Philstar's words, and can see both sides of the argument Philstar's making. If I had to give an answer right now, though, to go on a bit of a tangent - that specific issue isn't misandry, no. It's not an attitude that applies to men in general; it's tearing down specific men who don't fit the paradigm of what a man "should be". It's definitely harmful and bad and a result of gender role crap, but I do not think I'd call it misandry, specifically.
