It’s a good trick for sure, but I think the greatest trick was convincing young men that women were the ones taking away their opportunities rather than old men.

Yes, but I also think it’s important to specify that men will more often call misandry when women hold them individually accountable for their behaviour, rather than it normally being in response to women challenging the system. Misandry is what they think it is when women tell them they’re not entitled to sex or to even express misogynistic, patriarchal values. I was called a misandrist once for saying I’m not comfortable with men because of trauma, and the overwhelming consistency in negative experiences with nearly every man I met until I was an adult.

I’m confused are you saying the idea of misandry was invented by a bunch of men in charge, or are you saying a bunch of men in charge of the world convinced women to be dicks to men in response to women wanting equal rights? Cause like, it’s not the wanting equal rights that anyone sees as an attack on men. That’s a strawman. It’s the “haha this is why men die young” or “I won’t promote any men to manager because I don’t trust men with money” or “You don’t deserve any help, you’re a man, everything’s easier for you” that men feel are an attack on men. You know how there are a whole shitload of Israelis who took antisemitism and used it to think the whole world hates them and act like pretentious assholes and accuse everyone who criticizes them of being antisemitic? They’re not the only ones that followed that train of thought.

Misandry isn’t real btw. It’s as unserious as reverse racism.
