In the process, it portrays men as victims of a gender prejudice that on the surface seems comparable to the sexism directed at women. Like many such false parallels, this ignores the fact that antifemale and antimale prejudices have different social bases and produce very different consequences. Resentment and hatred of women are grounded in a misogynist culture that devalues femaleness itself as part of male privilege and female oppression. For women, however, mainstream patriarchal culture offers no comparable antimale ideology, and so their resentment is based more on experience as a subordinate group and men’s part in it."

The main problem is not thinking that #killallmen is Misandry, because if Misandry was a real thing, that WOULD be an example. It's that if you firmly believe that Misandry exists and that you, as a man, are victimised by hatred against your gender perpetrated by women, then you likely exhibit misogynistic tendencies.

As smart as this guy might be that just seems wrong. To me, this logic would also excuse people of being racist against whites - that it in a sense doesn't exist. Am I interpreting this wrong?
