Re: Misandry... Oh dear.

I think it's the binary that pits masculinity against femininity that's the feminist problem. And I think when men are hurt by that aggressive binary, feminism is the place to look for the tools to fight back.

Unfortunately, because binary opposition is so engrained in the ways the world talks about gender, when people see minsandry they tend to think of it as the distinct, separate man-version of misogyny. It isn't. It's men falling victim to the same patriarchal crap that misogyny is all about.

Limiting ideas of masculinity are damaging. They can fuck guys up. They get people hurt. But anyone who looks at - say - the portrayal of men in adverts as idiots - and uses that as evidence that misandry is an equal or greater (but definitely distinct) problem from misogyny isn't seeing the forest for the trees. Cause if we can push forward new ideas that fight misogyny, the misandry will clear up along with it.
