I stumbled on a question that suggested that men should use violence against women to "keep them in line," and even tried to use the Bible to support his misogynistic position. Not only does this suggest that women deserve to be beaten, but that men are brutes who should use violence against half the human race.
None of the so-called "equalists" bothered to step in and say "That’s wrong," but one self-described anti-feminist defended this hateful post by suggesting that it was "just a joke," and that -some- women deserve to be beaten and violated. This same person has labeled others as angry and hateful. So, apparently, on men are capable of making jokes that should be taken as such. If a woman makes a joke about, say, someone’s penis size, she is angry and immature. A man who talks about how men should beat women to keep them in line is "joking."
Why are these double standards tolerated here? Why is misogyny "funny," but comments that are directed toward one person is misandry against all men?
The answer that I’m referring to is the 11th down the page.

Blah-Because it wasn’t up when I posted this? Obviously, it posted after I made this post, right? At least, that -should- be obvious.
Anyway, my point was about defending misogyny as a "joke," whereas comments that are directed at individuals are construed as "misandry," I guess you missed it.
Oh, and ______, I know you’re really desperate to finally get laid and all, but your charming attempt at wooing me just isn’t going to work. Sorry : (
