I don’t think it would make much difference. Unlike sexist comments about women, misandrous comments seem to be applauded.

Which misandrous comments are applauded? No point in saying something if you can't back it up with evidence

What he and others mean by misandrous (sic) is women defending themselves or saying a guy seems bitter (when he's making it pretty easy to come to that conclusion). Yet the very same thing could be applicable to a woman if she comes across as bitter so how is it specifically anti men?

Misandry would be threads/posts attacking men in general on the basis of a minority - to say this happens as regularly on AH as the reverse is laughable. How the hell is it applauded too? Yeh I know there's the anti men rubbish in the media all right, but this thread is about AH.

It is perfectly acceptable to make general slurs about men that could never be made about an ethnic group and certainly not about women.
so, after nearly two weeks of no updates to this thread you decide to just drop that pearl of wisdom and then decline to back it up with any proof when requested. That doesnt really help your credibility or add much weight to your statement.

Closing this thread because this type of drive-by stirring is just going to continue until someone goes too far in the attack or the defense of a statement. The *only* reason I'm not calling "TROOOOOOOOOLLLLLL" is because of the users lack of trollish activities in the past.
