Misandry
A word cisgender heterosexual men utter the instant they are confronted about their misogyny; a term used by men to derail conversations about equal rights and the subjugation of women under the patriarchal system created by men.
Femi: Women are inferior to men and should remain in the bedroom and kitchen where they can be of use to society. Men are superior because we have penises. Haha, dark humour.
Aisha: Hey, don't say that.
Femi: Can't you take a joke, you bitch?
Aisha: Actually, I can, but that's the thing: it has to be a real, funny joke, not some remark that has its roots in misogyny. Your words contribute to systematic oppression, you misogynistic prick.
Femi: If misogyny exists, then misandry exists too and women are just as bad as women. Systematic privilege does not exist because we men say so.
