I've certainly seen plenty of ironic misandry amongst activist circles. This would include rhetoric such as "bathing in male tears" or "kill all men." While it is true that nobody takes such phrases as actual threats, and as an example, the incident in which Bahar Mustafa defended ironic misandry as ok to joke about comes to mind, I can't help but question whether or not such jokes are innappropriate, and whether or not people who make such jokes should apologize and recognize the triggering nature such jokes have on at least half of all domestic violence victims. According to CDC statistics, men outnumber women with regards to reported domestic violence. Given the relative imbalance in domestic violence shelters for men, along with the societal atandard of openly mocking men who show emotional responses to traumatic events, do jokes about "bathing in male tears" and killing men trivialize domestic abuse againat men, and should public places, such as universities offer safe spaces from such potentially triggering words?
