Indeed, while you find many misandrists in this world, they do not usually act out their hate like the misogynists do. - Misses AnnastrophicYes, and the reason for that is that you ladies were assigned the unfortunate designator - misandrist. It's understandbly difficult to get into real man-hating when at a Man Hating Convention someone calls from across the room... "Yoohoo, -  - Miss -andrist, Yoohoo, over here dear. We're doing some real misandry at this table." No ! What you girls need is a real Hate-filled word like Misogynist. Now there's a word that'll make you wanta go kick the cat. But most mosogynists, haven been properly raised, don't. - -

Okay, if nearly every woman has had bruises, what does that prove? How many men have had bruises or worse? The sex of the aggressor isn't an issue unless you feel that physical abuse against men is acceptable, but a "foul" when perpetuated against women.
Anyway, the subject was misandy, not violence. Misandry is an attitude. Violence may or may not arise because of it. A typical example of misandry is on "America's Funniest Home Videos," where they almost always show some poor guy get pounched, kicked or otherwise hit in the groin. As the guy doubles over in pain, everyone has a jolly laugh. Folks, that's misandry. If we were visiting some country where a video was shown of a woman getting punched in the breast or knocked on the vulva, and everyone else laughed, most of us would think it was a pretty twisted culture.

agreed-- which is one of the reasons i don't watch the show.. i don't think it is very funny.
it does seem to appeal to the lowest, basest humor, and while woman aren't as likely to be physically hurt in the clips, there is pleanty of ugliness done to woman and kids, too..
i don't know who it appeals to, and i am always surprized at the clips people send.. hear i am acting like an idiot-- and i got it caught on tape, and now everyone can see, i don't have the good sense that a slug has... but maybe, hey, i can get some money for personal humiliation.. and well, i could get $10,000!

Just to make sure that this word appears on this thread, for better or worse:
misanthropist
Best regards,
WorldWacker
From AHD that shows misanthrope as the primary term:
VARIANT FORMS: also mis·an·thro·pist ( ms-nthr-pst, mz-)
NOUN: One who hates or mistrusts humankind.
ETYMOLOGY: French, from Greek msanthrpos, hating mankind : mso-, miso- + anthrpos, man.

On Saturday Night Live, Mike Meyers used to do the recurring character "Dieter," the host of a German dadaist television show called "Sprockets." On one episode of Sprockets they featured "Germany's Most Disturbing Home Videos." Funny stuff.

Hi, Max...
I didn't offer misanthropist (or misanthrope) as a hater of men, but just as an umbrella term to be included in the overall discussion. Just thought, with all the discussion of hatred of women v. hatred of men, that hatred of all, in purely a clinical sense, would be a word worthy, unworthy as the concept itself is, to be thrown into the pot.
In the spirit of clarification,
WordWoman

[fanfare-e] Here I am (but where's the rest of the strine welcoming committee? Huh? Stales? What's goin' on?) annabel, WELCOME a Board! Sorry I've been a bit slack in welcoming, but have been very busy trying to sort out my rally driving career, and I've neglected this place for a little while. Don't worry everyone (I can hear the worry cogs turning) I'm back now, and everything's ok!
annabel (and others) we also had a discussion about a similar topic a little while ago which may interest you http://makeashorterlink.com/?F246217D.
Thanks for the heads-up, AnnaS, I would hate to disappoint!
