I believe that there are a small group of women who hate men just for being men. I believe that the textbook definition of the word misandry fits that description. I believe there are bad things that happen to men. I believe those issues should be addressed. I do not believe that a fringe group of women who hate men can be blamed for those issues.
Misandry was a dead word until recently. A group of men who feared the progress of feminism revived the word and used it to undercut the movement. They like having the power being a man provides and they don’t want to lose that. So they created a movement, found a bunch of legitimate issues that affect men, and tried to blame women for those issues. They called this misandry. It’s like conservatives using buzzwords like “death panels” to make people fear health care. They let people assume it meant Obama wanted to kill your grandma. They let their cute little phrase infect the minds of good people and convince them of falsehoods.
People are telling me that men cannot report rape without getting laughed at. They say this is misandry. It is the fault of women who hate men. But that just doesn’t make any sense to me. When I seek a logical explanation, it seems more likely that this is because men are supposed to be strong and women are supposed to be weak. And rape has been viewed as something that happens mostly to women. So if it does happen to a man, they must be weak. How did this idea of men=strong and women=weak start? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t because of misandry. It is an ancient patriarchy collapsing in on itself.
Feminism is about fighting inequality. It’s about erasing the strong/weak perception ingrained into our society. Misandry, as the term is often used today, is about trying to blame women for anything bad that happens to men.
If you want to fight to fix issues that affect men, go for it. But I would really consider distancing yourself from this term. It is used to evangelize folks into a movement that is very problematic. A group that can’t handle scrutiny of their comic books and video games, so they send death and rape threats. A group that calls women sluts and think they ask for rape if they show too much cleavage. Those are the people who coined this term, and you should want nothing to do with them or their language.

♡ grrrls ♡: g-nastyg-norc: alrights: g-nastyg-norc: alrights: i am so unbelievably...
i am so unbelievably sick of this whole concept where women have to look a certain way to be suitably fuckable to men
Then I really hope you drop all standards for men to be fuckable and just fuck every dude that wants it….
(that awkward moment when the sexist pig you’re bashing doesn’t even understand the very misogynist global institutionalism that ze is defending)
the objectification and sexualization of women is technically a feminist issue, since feminists seem to be the only ones consistently and articulately fighting against it, but it has overwhelming ramifications for men too. no one is denying that we live in a thoroughly broken system, but we are trying to point out that the strongest branch of this problem, the one that is most overt, widespread, and in many cases actually lethal, is the conception of the female body as an object which can and should be possessed, controlled, and changed to fit the whim of some guy’s penis.
the sushi place i like best at school has my information on file, so when i call to order i don’t even have to give my name. they know my phone number, my address, what food i like, the way i drink my tea, and they even have my credit card info on file. no questions asked, just “alright, [insert my name here*], we’ll be there in 30-35 minutes!” i don’t know if this is a great success or a great failure on my part.
*it’s still an anonymous blog, dear reader. and if you already know who i am, then it really shouldn’t be an issue :P

fastest way to kill your buzz: share good news with my mother.
the external world is bellicose and stormy
cooked a big pot of soup, cleaned dishes, and did laundry all before my first class of the day. take that, fever!
…. on an unrelated note, i’m feeling rather dizzy and should probably lay down. pseudoephedrine (the cold medicine i like to think of as over-the-counter speed) can only take you so far.
i miss the days when i was sick and my nanny was around to take care of me. (my parents are happy to supply medicine, but they take care of sick kids all day at work, and i’m not dead yet - or so they tell me). on the upside, i can sort of pretend somebody else made the soup when i take the obscene amount of leftovers from the fridge tomorrow!
