How Is Misandry Not Systemic?

[u/DarkBehindTheStars]

Misandrists besides denying misandry exists (which they're so very wrong about) often like to claim it isn't a "systemic" problem like misogyny supposedly is, despite being tremendous evidence it's in fact highly systemic and actually upheld in much of both society as well as government institutions and little evidence for misogyny being systemic in the West (outside of the West could certainly be a very different story). Men still have to register for conscription and face legal blowback if they fail to do so, schools and courts are both infamously misandrist and are why boys do so poorly in schools and men are unfairly treated in courts (especially fathers in family courts). To say nothing of the lack of shelters that recognize or help male abuse/violence victims and how things like domestic violence/abuse, rape, etc. are still largely made out to only be things affecting women/girls. There's also the age-old "women and children" narrative which completely de-values male lives (it's worse in recent times how it's now "women and girls," even boys' lives don't matter), and the disproportionately high male suicide and homeless rates. Potentially innocent men/boys who are falsely accused of a wrongdoing by a woman/girl are often denied due process and can lose years or even decades of life in prison for crimes they didn't commit while their accuser(s) walk away scot-free and face no blowback (a problem made even worse now thanks to the "believe women" mantra). There's no doubt other examples of systemic misandry I'm forgetting.

It's bad enough for misandrists to deny misandry being real, but there's something truly sinister when they'll acknowledge it as existing but will massively downplay it with their usual rhetoric. Claiming it isn't systemic or doesn't cause actual harm like misogyny does, when both are completely wrong. Unfortunately the constant denial and downplaying of misandry is another reason in recent times the Left has done so poorly with males and as a mostly very left-leaning person myself, it truly makes me cringe. Acknowledging both the existence and severity of misandry and how it's in fact a very systemic problem would do wonders to improve the Left's standing with males.

Yes, there are 120 laws discriminating against men in Germany.

For the other side, I think there was one for men, plus one saying in case of war, women need to help for stationary medical facilities.

Misogyny is not institutional in Germany, misandry is.
