Buy or sell: Society looks at women hating men as more acceptable than men hating women?

The question is what it is...do you agree that society is more accepting of misandry than misogyny, and why do you think it is or is not that way?

    Its true.

    Its because our whole society is misandric. Human beings are conditioned from birth to be misandric by our society.

    Both men and women have a bias towards women - its explained by a phenomenon in psychology called the "women are wonderful" effect.

    The reason so much is heard about misogyny is that its quite uncommon, so when instances of it arise, it gets a lot of publicity.

    Whereas, misandry is embedded in our system at each and every point, so much so that we dont even notice it - its like the air we breathe, its all pervasive!!

    Do you notice the air you breathe? NO! Because its ALWAYS there.

    Same for misandry!!

    This is the reason misandry is more accepted, since it appears "normal" to people, and misogyny is not.

    How many times have you seen the term "misandry doesn't exist" ?

    The very fact that there is a red incorrect spelling line under 'misandry' as I write this makes it obvious.

    False. Misandry isn't as common as misogyny. It's not acceptable, it just goes by unnoticed.

    Source(s): Unnoticed =/= accepted.

    Obviously true, as the mass media makes so abundantly clear.
