There ARE men who jump on others in a showy way for strictly imagined offenses against women. Sometimes (as in perhaps most cases of men fighting in public) the motivation IS at least partly sexual, e.g. to seem attractive, or at least part of an anachronistic image of the chivalrous savior. But the sexual part isn't defining.
This doesn't mean that it is wrong to argue against misogyny.
It just points to a real phenomenon among men, where they are trying to look like they are calling out an asshole when what is really going on is logically much more similar to acting holy in a bar fight over a woman.
If you think observing actual idiotic behavior which occurs sometimes among men is misandrist then I am happy to be a "misandrist" in your perception. I think the condition of men in our society can withstand a small amount of anthropological observation.
- knowtheory 14y agoReally? Are there? Show me some examples. What indications do you have that defending a woman is a sexually motivated act?
- mnicole 14y agoI have only seen it happen once or twice in-person, but I've run across it multiple times online. Had one guy, known for being awkwardly friendly (as in, had a motive) with the women in the group, even try to invite himself to stay with me multiple times while he would "be in town" and even when others would say "Dude, please stop," he would retort with "Once she meets me, she can decide!" Wouldn't let up on it, even after personally shooting him down. Found out later he was doing this same thing with other girls, too, and was kicked out of the group. Can I get a clarification on the downvote, given that the parent asked for examples and I provided one? I've elaborated on the specific situation.
