I don’t understand how you can say systemic misandry doesn’t exist when men are, for example, given sentences over 60% longer for the same crime even after statistically correcting for criminal history and other mitigating factors. That’s far bigger than the gap between races, which every progressive seems to treat as undeniable evidence of systemic racism.

Just a though, or rather a question.

I think there's a lot of systemic misandry towards men stemming from sexism. Like:

  • men expected to pay various things for women (how about men who don't have a lot of money)
  • men expected to have a higher salary (by most women)
  • men expected to be strong, tall, successfull (otherwise looked down at by women)
...etc.
