    One can be a raging feminist without being a misandrist quite easily.

    In fact it’s a core belief of feminism that all the genders are equal.

      Of course, but with some more equal than others, of course, as my (female) boss demonstrated earlier this week. She insisted that feminists had proven that women govern better than men can, and that if we would just replace all men in power with women the US’s problems would practically solve themselves.

      Feminists truly are beacons of equality.

        Yeah your single (female) boss represents all feminists and the feminist movement.

        Great detective work there.

          You could have listened to me, sympathized, and told me my misandrist experience is valid, but, then again, that’s a privilege reserved for women experiencing misogyny, isn’t it? Wouldn’t be very feminist of you to acknowledge just how widespread misandry is among feminists, eh?

                It’s a logical fallacy to take a single person and assume an entire movement based on her views alone.
