CMV: Justification for misandry is justification for racism
Getting right into it, justification for misandry is justification for racism. The obvious retort is “it’s different” when really it’s not, except for the fact that you find one acceptable. The same language used for misandry is the same language used in racism.
Misandry
“I’d choose a bear over a man. Men commit the majority of violence and rapes against women so women are justified in being cautious of men. It’s not all men but you never know which man it may be. If there was one poisoned skittle in a bag would you still risk eating them?”
Racism
I’d choose a bear over a black person. Black people commit a disproportionate amount of crime so people are justified in being cautious of them . It’s not all black people but you never know which one it may be. If there was one poisoned skittle in a bag would you still risk eating them?”
I have never heard a justification for misandry that can’t also be applied to racism and the arguments usually just amount to back tracking and rhetoric. The common argument is that one is worse than the other which I don’t think actually matters.
I’d like to have a civil discussion about why one is fine and the other isn’t
