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.

I have been thoroughly disappointed in myself for thinking Hexbear wasn't misogynistic, and yet seeing all these he/hims come out and out themselves as terrible people has been eye-opening.
To be fair, never saw the cheating thread tho
I'm kind of in the same boat. These last few days have been kind of wild.
Just means we need to read feminist theory and be extra critical, rather than always assuming the best from HB users. /c/womenby already has theory up, I recommend checking it out!
I've actually been meaning to add more feminist theory to my library. I do have Caliban and the Witch. Gonna head there now.
E: Caliban is the one they have posted lol...
Haha, yep! Also the Gender Accelerationist's Manifesto!
Grabbed it too. I'm working through an anarchist theory block right now and then plan on some more Marxism and philosophy, but after that I was already planning on working through some feminist theory. So both of those seem like a good start. I'd still like to find something based on what Engels touched on at the end of Is The Origin of The Family, Private Property and The State about what post-communism marriage equality might look like. I might also add The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir but it's a bit lengthy.
