A simple question: is oppression a necessary component to misandry/misogyny? If yes, says who? If no, says who?

GOOD HUMOR
he point is not that no woman, anywhere, is incapable of hating men ... but that there is no *institutionalized* misandry anywhere in any public, and to a large degree any private, institution.
LOL!! LOL!!! LOL!!! LOL!!!
I didn't know you were so good humorist. You can be the next Jerry Seinfeld. You are the sh*t!!!
There is no institutionalized misandry...
- in divorce courts where men are deprived of their assets and their children only because of having a pen*s. Where 90% of times, children's custody is awarded to women regardless of their economical and psychological status, regardless whether they have initiate the divorce, regardless whether they have cheated. Where false accusations of domestic violence can destroy a man's life without legal proof.
- in law, where only women have rights to decide whether a child is born, but, should they decide to have the baby, a man has to provide for this child for eighteen years. Women have all the rights and men all the duties (and no right).
- in medical establishment, which devotes much more money to breast cancer than to prostate cancer, although both illnesses have a similar number of deaths. In which male contraception research has traditionally been underfunded (only two methods: condoms - which fail- and vasectomy) unlike female contraception research (twelve methods).
- in TV, where women are regularly depicted as brilliant and smart (and good) and men are depicted as dumb and obsolete (and evil). See, for example, the difference between Homer Simpson and Marge Simpson (or their children). This pattern is repeated in lots of sitcoms, reality shows, commercials and Oprah crap.
- in public discourse, obsessed by the idea of sharing household chores 50-50 but not sharing economical duties 50-50. Where men are rutinely depicted as oppressors and women as victims. Where domestic violence and psychological violence against men is silenced. Where women tell they don't need men and then complain because men don't want to marry (they are afraid of a strong independent woman!!! LOL)
- in politics, where it is passed a law like IMBRA who criminalizes a man only because he wants to know a foreign woman with romantic purposes by using pretextes which are false.
- in schools, where the way of learning of women is encouraged while the way of learning of men is discouraged. Where boys are taught to behave like girls with pen*ses.
- in affirmative action, where people are awarded privileges only by their birth status (like in the Middle Ages).
- in biased reporting in the media (for example, saying that men have the power because most politicians are males, silencing the fact that most members of the worse professions - soldiers, police, firefighters, garbage collectors - are also men).
- And more, and more, and more.
(If you want to know more, you can see these books - all available in Amazon-
The Myth of Male Power
Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture
Legalizing Misandry: From Public Shame to Systematic Discrimination Against Men
and lots more)
Believe or not, we live in a gynocracy. You can moan all you want but men are second-class citizens while women have made of their phony victimhood a way to enlarge their privileges while claiming victim status. It is the perfect crime...

Boycotting Salon's comments sections
I'm boycotting salon's comment section. Too much toxicity and STUPIDITY. *last post*

@ meeneecat
Wtf, meeneecat? I was ready to have an extensive conversation with you about the necessary components of misogyny/misandry, but I guess you can't handle it when someone asks you why your definition doesn't match the dictionary's?
You disappoint.

Quote of the day
I find the use of the word "y'all" offensive. That is a protected word for use by Rednecks, only. Bless your little heart, I bet you didn't know. I like my beer at room temperature and flat.

Real men are feminists...?
*Some* real men are feminists. *Some* real women are feminists. Some real people are not feminists. Or find themselves unable to consider themselves as such.
Otherwise, DurianJoe, I'm in total agreement with you about the right wingnuts. They behave like middle school hallway bullies to disguise their fear for their own masculinity.
-
you are right pansk, I did assume you were a woman, I'll take your word that you are a man
although your refusal to understand that genuine sexual attraction AND GENUINE LIKING AND LOVING CAN COEXIST with REAL problems with other people sounds suspiciously feminine (either that or you have been indoctrinated VERY thoroughly and COMPLETELY successfully). I do have one question though: if all men are as totally and happily submissive to women as you describe yourself and all the men you know, why are so many women finding so much to complain about?

Here's the Problem, Dick
> if all men are as totally and happily
> submissive to women as you describe
> yourself and all the men you know
Here's the problem with trying to conduct myself respectfully in this conversation, Dick:
I never said anything like what you abscribed to me above.
I never said "all men." I never said they were totally happy. And I certainly never said that they were "submissive to women."
So while I'm trying to talk to you, you're not responding to me - you're responding to some straw man that you made up in your head.
There's yet another telling assumption built into your response to me (or, purportedly to me): either men are as resentful, frustrated, and angry with women as you are; or they are thoroughly indoctrinated by women and completely submissive to them.
I just know too many men for whom neither of those alternatives is true.
> your refusal to understand that genuine
> sexual attraction AND GENUINE LIKING AND
> LOVING CAN COEXIST with REAL problems with
> other people sounds suspiciously feminine
No, it's just that, in your posts, I see the resentment and contempt, and I don't see the genuine liking, loving, and affection. All I know about you is what I read.
And, of course, attempting to dismiss my opinion by applying the insult "suspiciously feminine" to it tells us again what your opinion of women really is. Perhaps the reason that your interactions with women (that you like, love, and want to have sex with) have been so fraught is that those silly, annoying litte people keep thinking it's okay for them to have "suspiciously feminine" opinions.
