It's not ironic misandry, it's straight up actual misandry.

How about a compromise, we get to joke about white male fee-fees, but in return, we also get the Tumblr mock thread back? That poo poo was hilarious.

The Tumblr mock thread was only good until people started appearing in the thread to defend the people being mocked. And to post a lot of pony poo poo under the excuse of mocking it.

IMO, trivializing the experience of men who actually suffered abuse is a pretty hosed up and weird thing to do.

Does anyone have any proof that men are chastized for showing emotion or being vulnerable? It seems to be a common belief but i've never seen it. Men don't get criticized for crying or showing emotional vulnerability; women do! It's women who have to control their emotions at all times, but men can just express whatever and there's always a good excuse for it. If a woman cries, people think "oh typical women, they can't control themselves", but if a man cries people are like "Oh that poor man, he's very brave for showing his vulnerability". Women have to keep a lid on their emotions all the time, and consequently they're actually better at controlling their emotions.

In this very thread, even, people were being extremely dismissive of a guy who was abused by a woman.
