Not all feminists are misandrists, but all misandrists identify as feminists. That's the branding problem in a nutshell. The irony here being that it would be as impossible to be a feminist whether you were a misandrist or a misogynist - neither group lacks the capacity to toe the line that requests us to consider equality between the sexes as the end point.

But if we're capable of spotting the average woman hater can't be a feminist, we should also be able to spot the average man-hater can't be a feminist either - and we should be taking steps to removing both. But we don't. If women want to start identifying as feminist then they need to call out misandry when they see it.

Or.... to add to your article. If someone tells a man he's only good for sperm and dying in wars, you should also have a problem with them too. You just didn't say it. And that, in a nutshell, is why I don't identify as a feminist. It's a broad church which still includes a small toxic minority - feminists can't just 'distance themselves' from misandry, they have to call it out with the same vehemence they call out misogyny otherwise the movement will go nowhere.

Unlike my Penguin based gender-egalitarianism, which so far has one committed Penguin.
