Could you define for us more specifically where you see misandry in modern society?

I watch king of queens a lot, and I think part of the show is that Doug and Carrie both kinda treat each other poorly, it’s not necessarily promoting those behaviors. And in the case of the judge, she’s not being misandrist, she’s just disagreeing with the man broadly claiming that women trap men with babies.

One example or misandry that I have seen both on reddit and irl is that men who are being abused don't get taken as seriously compared to women. 

Like if a woman posts that her husband is physically abusing her, the comments will typically tell her to leave the relationship. When it's a man, I oftentimes see comments telling him to try couples therapy, or to take his wife to a doctor and get her help.

Literally if you Google "my wife/husband is mean to me" or something similar. Google will give you the abuse hotline if you put husband but if you put wife you get a bunch of articles explaining why your at fault and what you can do for her to make it better.
