Misandry is the hatred of or prejudice against men or boys. Men's rights activists (MRAs) and other masculinist groups have characterized modern laws concerning divorce, domestic violence, conscription, circumcision (known as male genital mutilation by opponents), and treatment of male rape victims as examples of institutional misandry. However, in virtually all societies, misandry lacks institutional and systemic support comparable to misogyny, the hatred of women. In the Internet Age, users posting on manosphere internet forums within 4chan and Reddit addressing men's rights activism have claimed that misandry is widespread, established in preferential treatment of women, and shown by discrimination against men. MRAs have been criticised for promoting a false equivalence between misandry and misogyny, as part of an antifeminist backlash. A 2023 research article, which combined multiple studies conducted by the authors, found that feminists are no more likely to be misandrist than other groups, including non-feminist men and women. The authors coined the term "The Misandry Myth" to describe the popular notion that misandry is commonplace among feminists. Source: Wikipedia (en)
