I used to unironically be a misandrist, but I realized it goes against my communist beliefs to judge every potential masc comrade based off some (many) shitty dudes. I'm sympathetic to someone who says they're a misandrist these days, but I'd suggest there are other ways of dealing with toxicity
It doesn't help that emotional development happens when you communicate and work though emotions with other people. It feels like men are actively discouraged from doing so
Same. Emotional immaturity is extremely common in men and typically combined with toxic masculinity. Especially with cis men because they have typically never experienced overt sexism. Most trans men I know have significantly healthier understandings of their manhood because they often have had to intentionally process their gender identity.
I'm also aware that's a whole line of discourse as well and it's something I need to read more trans-men's thoughts on. I have a trans-masc friend who struggled with misogyny after finding that it relieved his gender dysphoria. It's something I've been mulling over recently as a gender fluid trans person who shifts between being nonbinary and a woman.
This turned into a mini rant, sorry about that. :oh-shit:
I don't consider myself a misandrist anymore, but stuff like this sure tests me

most men that I interact with haven't developed as an emotional person since middle school, misandry is very appealing.

Yes, they 100% are. It's advantageous to the patriarchy and helps it perpetuate.
