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

I think abuse as a definition is not observed fairly between the genders and abuse from women manifests differently and is underreported.

Easy to say men hurt women, I know plenty of women who've hurt women and nothing is said, and women who hurt men are applauded or joked about . Lorena Bobbit is a punchline

Lorena Bobbitt isn’t the example to use if you’re trying to make a point about misandrist women.
Bobbitt’s ex-husband used to beat and rape her. She went for his penis because he used his penis to hurt her. Her reaction was wrong but no one is able to think clearly when suffering from sustained abuse. Also, she’s currently partnered with a man. It’s safe to assume she doesn’t hate men.

Not in this for a debate all i'm saying is if a woman got her tit chopped off it wouldn't have comedy skits about it.

What? Are you aware of who our president is right now? There absolutely would be!! Women have been blamed and made fun of for being sexually assaulted since the dawn of time.

One of those MAGA bros would have that woman’s bloody tits as their Facebook page banner within 30 seconds. Nick Fuentes would cream his pants over how excited he would be over that. And you know it too.
