Why does misandry pop its ugly head around here frequently?
Lately there have been a number of man hating (not just man bashing, but flat out "lets eliminate all of the men in our society and only clone females" type shit)

Replace men for any minority and you have yourself a thread worthy of the KKK or John Birch Society.

News Flash: Men hating is not feminism. It's actually the opposite - feminism is about equality, not supremacy.

13. Well, you could always just directly respond
to the post in question, instead of breaking the rules and doing it this way. Or, alternatively, you could just start a thread and discuss the issue, without the need for a call out at all...Just my .02, as I have no dog in this fight.

9. Heh. That WAS odd.
But I think it was the exception, rather than the rule. I can't remember seeing that too often around here. :shrug:

7. There have been some over the top posts, but it isn't too frequent
The outrageousness of the few really bad instances makes it seem more frequent than it is. In any case, these posts don't worry me as much because there isn't any social power or history of discrimination to back up the bigotry. Bigotry is always bad, but like hatred for white people this form of intolerance has less harmful real world results than those that create real social disadvantages.
