Female Liberation and Male Oppression

In 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton (an American social activist and one of the leading figures of the early women’s rights movement) stated that “man is infinitely women’s inferior in every moral virtue.” Feminism (defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as: “the theory of political, economic, and social equality of the sexes”) started out as a movement for total equality for all humans, yet it has become a philosophy (largely promoted by Stanton and others) based on animosity and condemnation against men. The rise in feminism has led to (not necessarily caused) an exponential increase in discrimination against men, as many feminists blame men for the injustice against and oppression of women through out the ages, and not without cause. Women throughout the ages have been considered sub-human at best, and property as worst, little more than chattel, and while it is still true that women are still oppressed in some places of the world, in America (home of feminism, equality, and freedom) women are reversing the balance of power. Rather than moving fprward with ideals of freedom and equality, feminism has become distorted and history is repeating itself; but with a twist. Now the women are on top and men are being oppressed. Society is so focused on discrimination against women, on the crimes against women that injustices towards men are overlooked, ignored, or completely denied. Men are so stereotyped as the villain that no one sees how they are becoming the victims. Misandry is real, misandry is pervasive, and in many ways misandry is more dangerous than misogyny. People recognize misogyny, we see it, hate it, and fight it. But misandry is more of a threat because it is unseen, it corrupts society, relationships, futures and no one seems to know it exists. No one sees it, so no one stops it.

Misandry (the hatred of men) is found everywhere in American society
