The Tales of a Handlebar Mustache

The day to day of a red head with a handlebar mustache.

everyoneback said: then how come women putting other women into traditional gender roles, or slut shaming, etc. is “internalized misogyny”? how is men forcing men into stereotypical gender roles not “internalized misandry”?

because you can’t internalize prejudice when you are the dominant factor in the society.  internalized prejudice comes when you’re treated as something “less” and while patriarchy hurts men, it doesn’t treat them as less than women.

so yes patriarchy is bad for everyone, but that doesn’t mean misandry is a thing

Misogyny is the hatred of women and Misandry is the hatred of men.  It has nothing to do with power.  Both men and women can be misogynistic and both men a women can be misandrist.  You are redefining the terms to fit your views and creating a double standard.
