Why?

  The same reason reverse racism isn't real.
  • ameister14 7y ago
    That's not possible. Reverse racism isn't real because it's just 'racism' and there's no reverse about it. Misandry is specific.

    Since Asians are the global majority, discrimination against them is impossible? I find it interesting that the power + prejudice view is selectively enforced only at certain scales of power. Global? No. National? Depends upon the nation. Local? No. It is almost like the application of the definition assumes the power structure in the average US college town was representative world wide.

      Lol, fuck off. Scientific racism apology is still racism apology.
      • subjectsigma 7y ago
        This is not a scientific apology for racism, it's not even an apology. The reason I linked it is because it argues that if you think reverse racism doesn't exist, you're probably right, but only because you're using a definition of racism which is biased or functionally useless. I think this thread shows the argument extends to sexism. Does that mean misandry is a systemic issue on the scale of misogyny? Probably not. Does it exist and does it hurt people? Yes. Does denying that trivialize other people's experiences, exacerbate groupthink, and make you look like an ass? Yes.

          You seem to have read the "scientific apology for racism" part but not the "fuck off" part.

    "Reverse racism" is often worth an eye-roll in the same way rich people complaining about anti-wealth discrimination is, but not because the phenomena can't be real or even genuinely threatening on occasion. Because while no privilege makes you invulnerable, some burdens are chronic/systemic. Situational racism is different in degree than systemic racism. Binary gender roles are a bit different IMO. Without making a judgment about who has it "worse," it's probably fair to say that there are systemic privileges and burdens members of each experience. Misandry might be one way of referring to one side of one side of that.

      Males have power. They are not victims of prejudice lol. So much reactionary thinking on this site
      • wwweston 7y ago
        If for some reason the word "misandry" hacks your brain, consider the term "intersectionality." If you understand it, then you understand it's possible to hold some privileges and be systemically burdened at the same time. You understand that holding power and suffering prejudice aren't single dimension matters, nor are they exclusive. You might even understand that they're a function of more than various identity markers. Or... maybe you're just in this to lol at windmills with one-sentence drive-by insulting comments. How would anyone here know?

          Misandry is MRA bullshit. Gender equality is called feminism. Read a book.
