		MISANDRY - THE HATRED OR OPPRESSION OF MALES
		Both terms 'misogyny' and 'misandry' evolved in the 1960's in the United States.
		After reflection, I changed the definition of misandry to mean the hatred or oppression of males.

		Those who refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of misandry, both as a word and as a sociological fact, are portrayed as effeminate and thus bereft of logic, no matter how detailed and thought-out their arguments might be.
		One antifeminist grievance is that “misandry” itself is underlined in red on their word-processors as a misspelling: this they view as a brutal assault upon their psyche, quantitative proof that men’s lives are worth less in our society than women’s.
		Although he admits that misandry is a neologism without any direct precedent, he feels compelled to toss his antifeminist admirers a bone by hinting otherwise, always without citation.

	Misandry
		We do know, however that women often move to BC from Alberta and the rest of Canada to have their divorces done here in BC where the misandry of the Family Courts will maximize their powers to destroy their husbands.
		The corollary assumption is we must raise boys as we do girls, in the image of misandry, without regard to a child's unique qualities, preferences, hopes, and desires.
		Misandry, misogyny (hatred of women), and accusatorial preferences have no place in our society.

	Misandry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There is a suggestion from both feminists and masculists that the "war of the sexes" arising from traditional gender roles and their breakdown are the primary source of both misogyny and misandry.
		Misandry is a negative attitude towards men as a group, and as such need not fully determine a misandrist's attitude towards each individual man. The fact that someone holds misandrist views may not prevent them from having positive relationships with some men.
		In some versions, the Amazons display misandry through actions such as forbidding men to reside in Amazon country; killing their male offspring (the result of their yearly mating with the all-male Gargarean tribe) or exiling them to return to the Gargarean fathers (Strabo xi.

	Misandry
		Like misogyny, misandry is a pathological hate for a specific sex group, but hate of men by an individual.
		Some masculists maintain that misandry has been rampant for thirty years, due to feminist advocacy, and has become a social pathology.
		Others in both feminist and masculist camps consider the "war of the sexes" arising from traditional gender roles to be a powerful source of both misogyny and misandry.

		Legalizing Misandry is a large, dense, thoroughly documented scholarly work that lays out the history of the legal shift in the US and Canada from one of equality under law to one of females first, men go away.
		Be assured, Legalizing Misandry is not some conservative or otherwise pathological rant against the legitimate goals of the women's movement, it is a well reasoned, well order, and well documented analysis of how and why misandry has become entrenched at various levels of legal discourse and decision making.
		I would recommend "Legalizing Misandry" to people interested in the subject of men's rights, to feminists who are willing to consider the possibility that sexism against men can exist in addition to sexism against women, and to anyone who wants to understand the sources of the present polarization between men and women.

		This led to our initial hypothesis: that misandry, the sexist counterpart of misogyny, had become pervasive in the popular culture of our society – that is, of Canada and the United States – during that decade.
		It is easy to know which are financially successful and which are not, but precisely why is more difficult to establish with any accuracy – even when people are asked for explanations of their likes or dislikes (partly because the questions are notoriously subject to biases or expectations of one kind or another).
		Pervasive misandry is surely a “statistical” surprise (though not a statistical anomaly in the technical sense).

	Society for the Prevention of Misandry in the Media
		The Society for the Prevention of Misandry in the Media was founded in 2003 in response to the increasing prevalence of negative representations of fathers, husbands and men in the mass media.
		Our mission is to redefine the standards by which the value and dignity of fatherhood and the role of the husband are upheld in the media.
		We also seek to encourage the public to become actively involved in understanding the dynamics and structure of the advertising industry and in expressing their views on this matter to marketers, advertising agencies, the advertising press and, of course, to us.

	Classical Values :: Today's new word!
		I am pretty sure "misandry", "misogyny", and "misanthropy" are all of the same vintage, well over a century old, and likely a good deal older.
		Misandry and misogyny are mirror images of each other.
		"Misandry" is one of those strange words that none dare speak, yet is very much seen in practice in certain settings.

		The first in an eventual three part series, Spreading Misandry offers an impressive array of evidence from everyday life - case studies from movies, television programs, novels, comic strips, and even greeting cards - to identify a phenomenon that is just now being recognized as a serious cultural problem.
		Discussing misandry - the sexist counterpart of misogyny - the authors make clear that this form of hatred must not be confused with reverse sexism or anger and should neither be trivialized nor excused.
		They break new ground by discussing misandry in moral terms rather than purely psychological or sociological ones and refer critically not only to feminism but to political ideologies on both the left and the right.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Misandry is not infrequent in literary criticism, especially in the field of gender studies (there is even a book called Misogyny, Misandry, and Misanthropy).
		Misandry is modeled on misogyny, a seventeenth-century word meaning 'hatred of or hostility towards women'.
		The word misanthropy means 'hatred or hostility towards humankind'; though some older dictionaries defined this word as "man-hater" or the form misanthrope as "a person who hates men," such definitions used man in the sense 'human being', and all modern dictionaries are clear that a misanthrope is a person who hates humans, not males alone.

	Popular culture's war on men
		Because misandry goes unchallenged, men make for a safe source of evil, one that is unlikely to cause the purveyors of pop culture any trouble by offending a segment of their market.
		The effects can be profound, as children come to believe their options and behaviour to be cast within the limits of what they see in the entertainment to which they are exposed.
		In calling attention to misandry Young and Nathanson know they are daring to challenge conventional thoughts that say men are a privileged class and therefore immune to victimization.

		'Misandry,' according to Nathanson and Young's first volume in a proposed three-volume series, is to the human male what misogyny is to the human female, and they claim it is a growing problem throughout contemporary popular culture.
		I suppose that general observers of popular culture should have seen this one coming, particularly since Susan Faludi's 1999 Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man, something of a drastic turnabout given her previous study of the backlash against feminism.
		Contemporary misandry, they argue, can be found in almost every genre of popular culture - books, tv shows, movies, greeting cards, comic strips, and commercials - and seems to afflict particularly North America.

		In fact, misandry (the hatred of men) is not only acceptable to most people; it's actually the only form of bigotry deemed "politically correct." It's hard to tell which is more amazing-the fact that misandry is so rampant in popular culture or that it seems to be invisible to so many people despite its prevalence.
		I am intimately, in every sense of the word, familiar with most of the men's rights literature, and I have to say that looking back on all the magnificent, avant-garde (and frankly heroic) publications assaulting radical feminism and political correctness in general, this work by Nathanson and Young was, and is, the finest moment.
		Misandry - the hatred or contempt for men - is a very strange phenomenon.

	Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture
		Bridge"), and sitcoms (e.g., "The Golden Girls"), the authors go on to use this discussion of misandry (the hating of men; the sexist counterpart of misogyny) to comment on industrialization, shifts in religious understanding/readings, differences between moral values, emotions, and worldviews, and the place of men in current culture.
		However, misandry is allowable, excusable, and not seen as a problem.
		An often-sung refrain from the Iron John crowd is, "Where do men belong in today's culture?" Spreading Misandry does nothing to place them anywhere, and I was left thinking that this valid question should be addressed.

	Christifideles: Misandry
		Misandry is the counterpart to misogyny; it means "hatred of men".
		And it is illustrated by a few choice examples from this article about the Vagina Monologues.
		Point number one: Men are forbidden, by the playwright, to appear onstage during the play, on pain of losing one's approval to perform the play.

	Spreading Misandry by Paul Nathanson & Katherine K. Young - Peter Kocan - Quadrant Magazine
		A work of scholarly restraint, this is also a cry from the heart against our age of schadenfreude in which it is “easier than ever before to justify hurting people, whether by killing them or abolishing their rights or simply refusing to hear their side of the story”.
		The authors focus on the misandry of the 1990s because it best illustrates “how far we have moved from common sense, let alone moral awareness”, and that “nothing has been learned from history”.
		This creates the paradoxical situation that “Even though misandry is clearly visible to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear, it is not visible to many people as a problem.” Even the prime victims are mostly disarmed.

	Misandry and why men have a right to complain
		Do not misunderstand me; I do not contend that the misandry in popular culture is equivalent to the discrimination women have received.
		Some of you may have thought that, in reading an article about misandry, you would encounter the bitter reprisals of a man who recently had a rough experience with a woman.
		When I say misandry is a rising threat to our society, I say that from personal observation and am not passing it off as a fact you must agree with.

		Yet once Bloom began thinking about it, he had no trouble coming up with examples of implicit, even explicit, misandry (not to be confused with misanthropy, which means "hatred of mankind").
		Shakespeare makes perfectly clear that women in general have to marry down and that men are narcissistic and not to be trusted and so forth.
		Misandry has lacked the necessary word of mouth.

		It is misandry (pronounced mis-ANN-dree), and, by extension, a person who is characterized by his or her hatred of men is a misandrist.
		Lexically speaking, these words make perfect partners with misogyny and misogynist, and both of them keep their distance from misanthropy, which is merely the hatred or distrust of humankind in general.
		Almost no one would ask if there is such a thing as misogyny; the hatred or suspicion of women is as old as the ages, and it comes to the foreground in the most amazing places, including love poetry.
