@erettos@mitsujiis the not radical response you mentioned is it’s okay to date men because they are stupid and the beliefs they hold derive from that, the appropriate reponse should be proportinate is does it make sense for a misandrist to date someone who's openly disrespecting women
@erettos@mitsujiis It’s infantizing to think misandrists don’t have a standard for men. All men are bad in the eyes of misandry doesn’t mean that misandrists see all men as equally bad, there’s definitely a point where it’s antithetical to engage in a relationship with a man.
@erettos Yes, fear of men and misandry are different concepts, but fear is often a psychological driver of misandry. Misandry doesn’t mean you can’t date a man but condeming characteristics in a man then dating a man that exemplifies those characteristics doesn’t follow for me.
@erettos Ok if I scale it back to a misandrist dating a man who views women as lesser when their misandry is fueled by a fear/disdain of her or other women being treated in a way because of that, is it not contradictory to her prejudice
@erettos Racists date minorities because they view them as a subservient. A misandrist dating a violent rapist man, when her misandry is fueled by the possible mistreatment a man like that could inflict on her or other women is contradictory to her supposed predjudice.
@erettos they do they are my friends and they are friends with EvilRacistMoid1488 and they are dating Dr. Violence Against Women John Baptise Killinger IV
@erettos I again don't believe they are the same word anymore a giant semantic shift has taken place that changes what is means to be a misogynist and misandrist, maybe i am conflating misandry with feminisim and sexism though
@erettos I guess i'll never see my rapist pedophile boyfriend as truly a good person. Being in a relationshipship with someone when women tend to hold the power over that for romantic ones in 1st world countries when relationships are inherently a socially valuable and fufilling thing-
@erettos A misandrist cannot date someone who goes against their values because their misandry for 90% of people is a reaction to the misogyny/history of misogony, violence against women, racism, etc displayed predominantly by men acting in a patriarchal society.
@erettos Although misandry and misogyny are etymologically the same word i believe they've adopted completely different meanings within the power structure of society. A misogynist can date a women that goes against his values because he views them as subservient-
@erettos my history in this case refers to their behavior after they label themselves misandrists, it’s hard to believe they are misandrists when they choose to enable or seek relationships with people who are the epitome of why they hate men, it feels offensive to actual misandrists
