    You’re right . They aren’t . But they think they are

    But no (misandry|androphobia) don’t exist bcus men don’t face oppression for being men , women expressing “androphobia” really just reaction to misogyny . To say otherwise legitimises “reverse oppression” , to that I say no !

      Misandry and Androphobia do not require ‘oppression’ to exist, in the same way that a man being eaten by a shark is still being eaten by a shark despite not being oppressed.

      You can still be racist against ‘oppressors’ – you might have more of a reason for doing it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not racist.

      Misandry means you dislike men for simply being men – not that men are oppressed.

      Androphobia means you are afraid of men simply because they are men – not that men are oppressed.
