This thread is disappointing.
Misandry (sexism against men) is becoming very toxic and openly stated. In truth the people spouting of these insane takes are a minority but it's alarming.
What I'm talking about is men getting blanket blamed for the misdeeds of a few. That's how all discrimination works. The misdeeds and flaws of certain individuals get extrapolated to their entire group (gender, race, sexuality, religion, nationality etc)
A Black man stealing a car becomes all Black people are theives.
A woman cheating on her partner becomes all women are whores.
In the past week in my local area a pregnant woman was stabbed to death. This has started up the whole shitshow about how men are a problem, women are being victimized by men and something needs to be done about it.
In England during lockdowns when a woman was raped and killed by an off duty police officer some feminists openly stated that there should be curfews for men. That they shouldn't be allowed out on the streets after a certain time period so as to provide a 'safe space' for women. The audacity to openly state such discriminatory measures! They talk like this and still think they're the goodies. Add a race/relgiion before men and see how that looks "Black men shouldn't be allowed out past 8pm", "Muslim men shouldn't be allowed out after 9pm". These same people would claim to be against discrimination!
I'm reminded of a woman on twitter making some snarky misandrist 'joke' that all men should be killed. This was around the time of the George Floyd incident. Someone asked her if she thought George Floyd deserved to die, she said no. It was then pointed out to her that he's a man.
With regards to movies, on Letterboxd (a site not too dissimilar from IMDB) many misandrist 'jokes' are in reviews such as "men...smh", "men are the worst" etc. You would get banned from the site for adding a race/religion to the front (well okay maybe if you added White or Christian you'd get away with it).
