    On larger scale , Very distressing amounts “men are oppressed ackshually wamenz have it tꝏ gꝏd they need to be brought back to their place ‼️” laundered thru progressive sounding language (example : people who think “(trans)?(misandry|androphobia)” exists)

      I would disagree that the people you are talking about are actually progressive. This narrative that men are oppressed / have it hardest usually comes from a right wing background.

      “Misandry” and “Androphobia” do exist. But the problem they pose to society is questionable. There are many reasons why somebody would be androphobic and if a woman crossed the street because I was walking toward them I would not feel embarrassed or upset, I would understand.

        You’re right . They aren’t . But they think they are

        But no (misandry|androphobia) don’t exist bcus men don’t face oppression for being men , women expressing “androphobia” really just reaction to misogyny . To say otherwise legitimises “reverse oppression” , to that I say no !
