Misandry does not exist. The word was coined as a pushback to misogyny, wich is the systematic oppression of women by men. Men do not face a systematic oppression in the hands of women

A misogynist is a person who is extremely prejudiced against women. That’s definitely an interpersonal use, not a systemic one. Understanding interpersonal dynamics and how they go on to influence systemic issues is like, super important. Misogyny can refer to both institutional/systemic and interpersonal. It doesn’t make sense to say misandry doesn’t exist bc it’s not systemic when misogyny doesn’t have to be systemic to be called misogyny

To be clear obviously there is no systemic/institutional hatred of men (ig people are looking for "the effects of the patriarchy" here if they're trying to talk about systems?). People can definitely hate men on an individual level tho. I wouldn't call it misandry because that word is... sullied by MRAs and (as you said), can imply a preexisting systemic bias against men which doesn’t exist

I think we’re focusing too much on my language and not enough on the man purposefully misgendering me because he views me as a woman and therefore less than and not to be taken seriously

Dude I'm sorry this happened. It sucks and you shouldn't have been misgendered and that guy is an asshat and deserves to get his kneecaps rotated. And 2 asked a question (and yes did not adequately focus on what you were trying to point out) & I didn’t want to leave them room for ambiguity about using "misandry" in the future
