There are people who hate all men. That means that misandry exists.
Is it a systematic, institutionalized hatred that permeates society? No, absolutely not. But ivory tower academics don't get to change the meanings of words and then get mad when not everyone is on board.
(I wish I had kept the article that first suggested that sociologists start using all of the -isms to refer to systematic oppression. I read it while I was in college, and the thing that always struck me about it was that the author suggested the redefinition not because she thought it would make more sense, but because she wanted to start shocking people. In other words, you assholes have been using intentional wankbait for the past 20 years and think that it makes you "enlightened.")
