You'd have to be willfully ignorant of context, history and systemic power dynamics to think misandry is a threat to men in the same way misogyny is a threat to... well, everyone.

Most of the violence against men is perpetrated by other men. If misandry was real, it would be something men do to other men

I can't blame some men for believing in misandry. The social sciences are often neglected and it's easy to misdiagnose a situation if you have a shitty boss and not the vocabulary and knowledge to pull up bell hooks to point out yet even more products of the patriarchy.

Honest question how do people feel about the concept of "military aged male" and its application

A patriarchal society being both misogynist (women can't fight) and classist (send the poors to be cannon fodder)

Reminder that women have fought in every war and their contributions always go largely ignored. British women who fought in WW2 against the Nazis found that when they wear their medals in veteran parades, they are often subject to idiots screaming at them that they're "wearing their fathers medals on the wrong side" the idea that the medals are their own doesn't even compute.

Misandry and cis-phobia exists specifically within the context of hexbear though. I know because you never upbear my posts. smuglord

It's about as real as racism against whites or heterophobia

Misandry is real in the same sense that the "paint all mountain chickadees neon green" political movement is real. You could probably find someone who believes in painting small birds, but there is no institutional backing nor widespread support for it. Someone complaining about misandry has comparable validity to one complaining about those coming with paint buckets for their birds.
