PSA: Misandry is Not Feminism
We should all know what Misogyny is. Misogyny is the dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. We hear this word often enough that we have a clear cut understanding of what it is. Feminism is more misunderstood. Being a feminist is often laden with baggage and associated with stereotypes. One of the more serious misunderstandings is that Feminism means you hate men or want them killed. This is not true. Feminism is the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. Now there are people who do hate men and think they should be killed. This is not Feminism and this is not being a 'Feminazi'. There is a proper term for this however. Misandry is the dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men.
