Re: Misandry... Oh dear.

If you are in the feminist camp of "equal rights for all genders," then yes, misandry is, in a sense, a feminist problem. A lot of misandry stems from two sources: 1) misogyny, and 2) backlash against the patriarchy. That which stems from the former will be dismantled along with misogyny itself. That which stems from the latter...that's something that needs to be worked on. The man-hating from earlier-wave feminist theorists is something that modern feminism does need to combat because the goal is to raise women's status to the level of men's, not tearing men's status down to the level of women's. We're equal-rights activists, not bullies.

On a micro level, it is important for feminists to stand up against gender-based insults and discrimination, regardless of whether it's against a man or a woman (or anybody in-between). Not doing so is rather hypocritical. And the biggest way we can make change on the macro level is by dismantling casual sexism on the micro level. But don't conflate that with MRA rhetoric - men's issues do not trump women's issues. It's important that we don't ignore one in favor of the other, but we do need to understand the context of every situation we come up against.

In contrast, I agree with every word you wrote, and think the anon above me is a shit-stirrer.

This everything I believe about feminism and never had the words for.
