Seinfeld was pretty good, eh? > Misandry is normalized in society. Is it? I don't regularly (if ever) encounter "baseless attacks on men"... excepting situations where "reversing the roles" would result in the perpetrator still being a man and the victim still being a man. > there'd be pitchforks for treating women as anything other than paragons of virtue. Wait, are you doing a sarcasm? Who wields the pitchforks? It's the husbands, right? Those who were wronged when their wives' virtue was called into question?

You just have to look at some of the prominent Karens who are now getting their behavior recorded to see how many have internalized this concept. Both SoHo and Central Park Karen's were quick to don the caul of victimhood to shine a negative light on males and seek special treatment when they were in fact the victimizers.

  They were both quick to try to "don the caul of victimhood," but were they actually successful at all? Certainly in my "leftist" circles no one took their side.

    Only because they were captured on video. This isn't a new phenomenon. Just like bad cops now being caught doing what they've always been doing. Remember. Believe Them. They'd never lie /s.

      You must know my friends and acquaintances very well if you can predict their behavior in a hypothetical situation; even I wouldn't venture to do that!

  You're confusing racist attacks with imagined "misandry". Note that the term 'karen' usually refers to a racist white woman, as it does in these cases. In fact, the sensational coverage of these very incidents you cited demonstrates the misogynistic standards of the society and media cycle. The reason you've heard so much about these "prominent karens"[0] perpetrating racist attacks is because they are women. Women being violent is seen as a scandal and ridiculed by society/media. The fact that it's not an everyday occurrence is (counter-intuitively) why it seems so common. Men are responsible for a much greater share of all violence. It is clearly the violence perpetrated by men, not women, that is normalised. [0] and that there can be "prominent karens" in the first place
