You'd have to be willfully ignorant of context, history and systemic power dynamics to think misandry is a threat to men in the same way misogyny is a threat to... well, everyone.

Most of the violence against men is perpetrated by other men. If misandry was real, it would be something men do to other men

I haven't seen people use the word "misandry" since my days on ShitRedditSays a decade ago, is it coming back?

If so can we bring back calling them shitlords?

it never left on reddit-logo unfortunately, and if anything has become way more prevalent now that the site is constantly being astroturfed by MRA concern trolls posting about the "male loneliness crisis" and how women are somehow responsible for it. that kinda shit gets to the front page pretty regularly and all the accounts that post it are extremely sus/outright bots

Too many of them liked being called that and/or used it for baiting posts, usually in the "check your privilege, shitlord" format to get chuds excited.

I can't blame some men for believing in misandry. The social sciences are often neglected and it's easy to misdiagnose a situation if you have a shitty boss and not the vocabulary and knowledge to pull up bell hooks to point out yet even more products of the patriarchy.

It's about as real as racism against whites or heterophobia

Honest question how do people feel about the concept of "military aged male" and its application

It should be real though

Misandry is real in the same sense that the "paint all mountain chickadees neon green" political movement is real. You could probably find someone who believes in painting small birds, but there is no institutional backing nor widespread support for it. Someone complaining about misandry has comparable validity to one complaining about those coming with paint buckets for their birds.
