Everytime i see misandry i start laughing. bravenak May 2014 #1

Seems to be quite the joke on DU Major Nikon May 2014 #60

I was like 8 when the Bobbit thing happened. bravenak May 2014 #71

How old were you last March? Major Nikon May 2014 #74

So something from last march has you riled up during this particular tragedy. bravenak May 2014 #85

Actually I could give a day old dog shit about what happened last March Major Nikon May 2014 #87

I asked you to mind your business and lecture someone else. bravenak May 2014 #92

Discuss whatever you want Major Nikon May 2014 #94

Blah blah blah, misandry, blah blah. bravenak May 2014 #95

Brilliant! Major Nikon May 2014 #98

you didn't answer the question. why didn't you speak out against the post she's referring to? CreekDog May 2014 #270

Because I never saw it Major Nikon May 2014 #271

you didn't see it because you don't post in favor of women's rights CreekDog May 2014 #272

Grear response BrainMann1 May 2014 #317

Is it possible to fight against all forms of discrimination at once? joeglow3 May 2014 #184

Because the thread is about misogyny. bravenak May 2014 #199

The position, as laid out above, was clearly not in relation to this thread only joeglow3 May 2014 #274

That's cool man. bravenak May 2014 #367

Well, I can walk and chew gum at the same time joeglow3 May 2014 #387

But the thread is about misogyny. bravenak May 2014 #389

Conversations flow and can cover multiples topics joeglow3 May 2014 #392

Is that a real question? bravenak May 2014 #393

Bullshit joeglow3 May 2014 #398

It is because some whining man always tries to scream misandry! bravenak May 2014 #399

Oh, I'm perfectly capable of reading. liberalhistorian May 2014 #474

Apparently you need to brush up on your reading joeglow3 May 2014 #475

I am brave enough to rarely lie. bravenak May 2014 #411

Good to know you only care about oppression that affects you joeglow3 May 2014 #456

There is no systematic oppression of males by females in our society. bravenak May 2014 #460

I would not have addressed but for its inclusion in the OP joeglow3 May 2014 #467

And too many posters like you simply liberalhistorian May 2014 #406

Good Lord, do you not realize just liberalhistorian May 2014 #403

WHY is it that, whenever there's a thread liberalhistorian May 2014 #404

Show me those threads and I will talk about fighting ALL oppression joeglow3 May 2014 #453

Do you have a link to the suggestion that all males be castrated at puberty? nt el_bryanto May 2014 #89

. Major Nikon May 2014 #102

Thank you - that's pretty obscure and it would have taken me a long time to find it on my own el_bryanto May 2014 #104

I'm pretty sure it is a minority view Major Nikon May 2014 #119

Possibly because males have much more power to impose their hang ups than females? el_bryanto May 2014 #122

Possibly Major Nikon May 2014 #148

"I don't care if someone is drunk in a bar..." thucythucy May 2014 #321

Thank you Captain Obvious Major Nikon May 2014 #250

You're wrong gollygee May 2014 #251

You appear to be not so masterfully dodging the issue, so here it is again Major Nikon May 2014 #252

You are creating a false comparison gollygee May 2014 #254

You are still dodging the question Major Nikon May 2014 #273

It would probably depend on how it was done gollygee May 2014 #275

I'm pretty sure if it were done like the post in question it would get the expected response Major Nikon May 2014 #293

But it's not sarcastic the other way... Dems2002 May 2014 #188

Of course it is obscure to a community dedicated to and invested in ignoring it. n/t lumberjack_jeff May 2014 #256

Was it alerted on? Ms. Toad May 2014 #166

it's not that misandry is nonexistent, it's that it's a fake issue paulkienitz May 2014 #269
