Oh god.

You're one of those people who thinks misandry exists, aren't you?

Um. yes, I suppose I am? Obviously it's not as prevalent or damaging as misogyny is on a global level, but where I live it does EXIST. Racism is racism no matter which race is being targeted, isn't it? So why is sexism not the same? Or do you believe that it is impossible to discriminate against white males? I'm not saying white/male privilege isn't a thing, but I gues I AM saying that misandry exists in small amounts, and that it is just as unacceptable as misogyny?

also:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misandry
(yes I know it is a wikipedia link and therefore doesn't count for much, but I thought I would include it)

Misandry does not refer to a cultural trend of hatred or prejudice against men, it refers to any instance of hatred against men for the sole reason of gender. Which does exist. That is a fact that no one can dispute, I hope.

How dare you suggest that everybody doesn't have to alter their language to conform to how certain departments at certain American universities have chosen to redefine words? Next you'll be saying that varieties of English other than Standard American English aren't wrong!

And you're one of those people who gets offended whenever you come across someone who either hasn't heard of or hasn't adopted the shocky academic redefinition of certain words.

It really wouldn't be so terrible to say "institutional racism" or "institutional sexism." It would be less confusing, considering that the meanings of the words racism, sexism, misogyny, and misandry are already well-established in the language, and people who haven't taken a sociology class or read an SJW's blog aren't going to know that there's a circle in which they mean something different.

But it isn't about clarity. It's about ticking people off. It's about pretending that creating more opportunities for righteous indignation actually effects some manner of change. It's ivory tower bullshit, is what it is. Because, in truth, redefining racism doesn't lessen its impact or make it go away, and, even worse, it changes the nature of the conversation. Time is wasted on arguing over the correct usage of a word, and before you can get to the part where you're discussing the actual problem, you've already driven the other person to shut down.

It's obfuscation for the purpose of feeling smug.

Oh not this again.

Misandry isn't a system. It's been used an individual state of mind. It does exist. Anybody can have it. If you want to change the definition till it means something else and argue that doesn't exist... your an idiot and that's your biggest problem.

Anybody can hate anybody. Deal with it.
