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.

empathy is generally lacking in these sorts of people.
They also don't understand power dynamics and the genuine physical danger that women face. They might think that their disgusting comments are not a big deal because a girl just awkwardly laughs or doesn't make a big deal about it, when in reality the girl is disgusted and horrified but fears the consequences of standing up for herself.

to a certain extent i think this is an understandable consequence of growing up in a society that places no value whatsoever on women, our experiences, or even our opinions. i still feel comfortable branding it a general lack of empathy when there are such a number of dissenting voices that ignoring them almost by necessity constitutes a choice to embrace your position at the top at the cost of everyone else.
