"Misandrist" is an accusation that often gets levelled baselessly at feminists (recall the outrage around Anita Sarkeesian, whose feminism is about as spicy as mayonnaise), but the rare occasions where it actually applies are almost always TERFs.
I think its a core part of being a TERF. They see a transwoman and say "that's a man and I hate men" and that's the end of the ideological road. They also invalidate trans men in the same way by opining that they are somehow "broken women." It's gross. It's invasive. The shorter version of a much longer post I could type up, but don't want to because I'm a cis dude and there's enough of me's in the world, is that this is all kind of a shade of "main character syndrome" where they think they have a right to butt into other people's lives because they have a problem with it. This isn't stopping a fist fight on a busy sidewalk, this isn't de-escalating a hostile exchange at the workplace, this is them choosing them to immerse in spaces and ideas they are actively hostile to and then firing in every damned direction. It's bigotry wearing a the mask of progress. You know who also did that? The goddamned Nazis. That's why they claimed "national socialism."
I feel bad for Anita. She put out a bunch of videogame videos that were pretty much just "An Introduction to Feminist Media Analysis" and all those fucking CHUDs just exploded in frothing rage for years.
I posted a funny that I was shared from Twitter on a gaming Discord, and I didn't look extremely closely at who posted it, and it was from... dun dun DUNnNnnnnnNNNnn!!... Zoë Quinn!!!
My brothers in Christ, that fake-ass smear campaign was a decade ago, do you think you could give it a rest?

I finally watched one in college and was dumbfounded at how, like, unbelievably inoffensive it was
