misandry

there has been considerable popular press on the social impact of misogyny (hatred of women). misandry (hatred of men) seems socially blessed. poor girl. how right you are to hate the evils of men. never mind that harboring hatred burns holes in your soul. those evil creatures are worthy of all the hate we can muster.


i have 5 brothers, 5 sisters and 3 sons and 2 daughters. i hold that misandry is as unjust and damaging as misogyny.


thoughts?

Toxic femininity and toxic masculinity exist. I don’t like either label. It’s more in general everyone has sh*t.

an awful lot of personal toxicity is generalized as gender traits.

both genders have assholes and good health requires we use them daily.

I choose bears, but that's not just about men. That's about a lot of PEOPLE. Humans in general. Bears I understand. Humans I don't. That doesn't give a direct answer, but that's because as angry as I get about misogyny (and I do get angry), a functioning society cann ot place all responsibility on any one segment of society to make society "work". If we're not all in on the social contracct of courtesy and respect, then there isn't one.

Wow! Thank you for opening my eyes to yet another form of bullying - one that crosses so many boundaries of normal.

i hadn't thought to call it another form of bullying, but it fits in too many occasions.

my two foster daughters, ages 7 and 10, dearly love what i have been calling, "empowered barbie" shows. these range from the heavy makeup cartoon girls who shoot each other with makeover guns to the youtube videos of makeup techniques. the bully reference has me wondering if i should call them, "mean girl training videos."

sigh. . .
just mask it all! ! !

Sure there are bad in both genders but you can’t ignore the fact that there are a lot more evil men than women, testosterone creates problems. I think minus the sociopaths, boys with healthy relationships with their mothers turn out to be better men.
