Misandry - (/ mɪsˈændri /) - is the hatred of or prejudice against men or boys.
Assuming and expecting men to start berating you, if you tell them you’re not interested, and sharing this preconception with others is definitely a prejudice. This behavior from a male is not normal, should not be normalized, nor should women be afraid to speak or resigned to that behavior.
If a man made a comic about turning a woman down and that woman making ape noises and throwing poop at him, and ends with “why does this always happen?!” that would be a prejudiced comic.
This behavior is not normal, but it is all too common. Women shouldn’t be afraid to honestly decline a man’s advances, but a lot of men give them very good reason to
Yes the first panel which is immediately contradicted by the third and fourth, implying that women should never trust men or speak their mind to men and instead fear them.
The first panel is relevant. The first character(who looks more androgynous than anything) implies women haven’t been honest with them, proceeds to validate why women haven’t been honest with them by reacting poorly to honesty.
Surely, we all have experience with people who feel like they need to demand truth, like that isn’t the default.
It doesn’t even mention men, it’s about self awareness and maturity.
Super weird that a lot of people just glossed over that first panel like it wasn’t a fucked up thing to say.
It’s incredible that you can see how this artist portrays women in this very comic and still deny that the other character here is a man.
I’m waiting for the part that excuses the misandry or in any way contradicts what I said. The first panel just exasperates the untrustworthiness and hypocrisy of the fictional character in the latter panels.
Perhaps your inability to convey your message is a problem specifically with your literacy.
So you don’t know what media literacy is, either, hey? Generally, it involves reading a whole narrative in order to interpret the relationship between the different things being said as well as how the message is portrayed.
Paying attention to choices the artist makes like, when they’ve drawn very masculine figures before, why they didn’t do that with this particular character. Choices like how men aren’t even mentioned… Unless there’s some new kind of literacy I don’t know about where you invent things and double down on them extra hard — because you can’t identify rejection sensitivity for the same reason it’s hard to see what a house looks like from inside of it.
Expecting it, and allowing that expectation to dictate your interactions, aren’t the same thing. In this comic alone she anticipates the reaction, but still interacts with him as though the sentiment he’s expressing is sincere. She behaved quite reasonably.
Pretty Mysandrist post there.
You should not expect this behavior, expressing anger from being turned down, from men or women, and it should make you angry.
Misandrist to say that people who generalize women as dishonest probably give people a reason to lie?

So you didn’t read the first panel?

Media literacy is dying.

If your assumptions don’t dictate your actions then you’re of two minds.
Really not sure what your point is there, sorry :/
