my opinion is that the word is clunky and not ideal, but its also the best one available right now, and the best understood. it gets the point across intuitively and without having to explain the difference between cis misandry (not real) and trans misandry (real)

Idk. I think (cis) misandry is quite real. Its just very very different to misogyny in its effect and scale.

I agree with you. I also think it may come from a very different place than misogyny.

IMO it's not real on a systemic level, if anything. cis men absolutely do suffer from misogyny, though, and patriarchal gender role enforcement.

Sure. I guess my understanding of misandry is that it is very much intertwined with gender role enforcement. Misandry and misogyny are ultimately part of a system of gender compliance...

The expectation upon AMAB folk to fulfill a masculine role is damaging on an individual (if not systemic) level. Its not a popular opinion and I will probably get some shit for saying this but a lot of transmisogyny is misandry. The idea that all men and all AMAB people are...

violent, sexual predators is misandric. The ways in which men are generally excluded from aspects of parenting and caregiving are about maintaining that gendered status quo. Misandry gets reflected in things like mental health outcomes, homelessness stats, lower life expectancy.
