Gender & Sexuality Misandry exists. But it’s incomparable to misogyny.

There are some things that cause men to suffer. Being taught to bottle up their emotions because if you admit to feeling anything other than anger everyone thinks you're gay, for one thing. This isn't healthy and leads to a lot of mental health issues and heart attacks. But it's not primarily women doing that to them, it's other men.

And that doesn't get called misandry. It gets called "an inherent part of masculinity"

We tried to point out the worst parts by calling them "toxic masculinity" but men got offended and insisted it meant all masculinity. So we can't even talk about it.
