Misandrist, misogynist or misanthropic?
All sounds a bit miss-and-hit to me.
Perhaps

might take some of the pressure out of this pissing contest.
Hey, there's heaps of horrid anti-male prejudice masquerading as
giggles for the girls and mock government concern advertising at the
moment. Flip the message around and focus on, for example: violence
against men, vilifying females instead of blokes and there would be a
public outcry. Vilify men and the public doesn't blink an eye. That's
just plain wrong!
Simple because the former patriarchy was (but not all men were)
horrid to women for centuries doesn't make it right for today's
matriarchy to take it out on the more sensitive and accommodating men
borne of recent generations.
We've mostly learnt the lessons of past mistakes and today's men
deserve better than being the butt of feminist jokes.
There are many well funded women's help groups but precious few for
men. The one I recommend, from personal experience and now, as a
trained facilitator, is www.dadsindistress.asn.au
Guys, look after yourselves. Dads are vital parents too.
