The claim of misandry is one that makes me equally amused and enraged. Look at simple examples: on those TV shows where the man is dumb and bumbling--look at the wife he's got. Is she ever less than an 8 on the scale 1-10? Never. Look at movies--a guy like Seth Rogen, from Zack and Miri...he bags a girl who looks like Elizabeth Banks. But an overweight, average looking woman in a movie? She's comedic fodder, the "ugly friend" or the sidekick, something of that nature. How often does the average girl get the hot guy in a tv show or movie?
I hate Kristen Stewart, but look at this latest "scandal." She sleeps with a director, okay, fine. She's young and has a boyfriend, sleeps with a married man. She's turned into a villain. The director she slept with is married with children, and he gets none of the blame. She loses her role for the next film, he keeps his job for it. Commercials aimed at women all express the idea that all we should be worrying about is cleaning the house or keeping our figure. Men's commercials are about power and success, ours are about swiffering the kitchen floor until it shines!
A woman who has multiple sexual partners is a slut, a man who has multiple sexual partners is awesome. If a girl wants to wear boy clothes and play sports, she's a tomboy, it's harmless! But if a boy likes dolls or dressup, his parents take him to a therapist, because hey, why would anyone want to be like the weaker sex?
It happens every single day in a billion subtle ways, and all men see is that GASP finally women have some actual power in society. It's still not equal, not even close, and the idea that "misandry" is a problem is an absolute joke.

A couple points on your post;
-Daniel Tosh is a comedian. He was attacked promptly for his non-pc act. Meanwhile, men are constantly being portrayed as dumb, violent, uncaring, incompetent fools, and violence against them is funny, because they can take it.
-Who cares if an ugly man is paired with an attractive woman on TV? I got news for you. Upon meeting a woman, a man judges her for her attractiveness and that alone. If you don't pass the boner test, he will not stick around and get to know you for your sparkling personality. The sexes are vastly different, regardless of what Gender/Womens Studies/Liberals tell you.
-Yes, promiscuous women are sluts. They are a bad long term investment. Men value more chast behavior from women they wish to commit to. There are biological reasons for this. A man can never be certain of paternity where a woman does have certainty.
Go on, how else are the sexes "not even close" to being equal?
