Women are better. That you do not understand the meaning of misogynist suggests you cannot comprehend the initial thought of the thread. Perhaps you should search for something more meaningful on terra firma???

Mysandry then, it is the same thing. Why do you make comments like "that's misogyny" as if it is itself an argument against something; as if it is inherently wrong, when your are a mysandrist yourself? Do you not see the irony.

All the evidence strongly indicates that women on their own could not survive, let alone thrive. A woman on her own is proud of being a "strong independent woman". Her greatest achievement is to survive in a fully developed modern society where she can pay men to do all the things she can't do herself. Women aspire to reach that level of female greatness. A man who lives like that is a loser. A man who does not take up the responsibility to take care of and raise a family is literally less than what is the basic expectation from men. It is not enough that he is "independent" and can literally do all of the basic home and auto repair, travel the world, sculpt his body, etc. That stuff is not even the extent of what is expected of men and it is already exceeding the greatest aspiration of women.

Everyone just accepts this, and that is why the go to insult against men is "your single". While at the same time being a compliment for women.

Misogyny is inherently wrong. Misandry? A little. Women can achieve far more than men give her credit. Why should we accept the role of men in society when there have been many matriarchy cultures throughout history? I don't need a man to do basic home and auto repair - nor do I need a sculpted man in my bed. Perhaps you are stereotyping based on your own needs. Many existing Western and Eastern cultures are premised on male deities that have subjugated women to subservient status - they are simply breeding vessels - not unlike the forced birther laws being enacted in many US states. That, by definition, is misogyny. My grandmother was born just before women were given right to vote - why did it take nearly 130 years before the 19th Amendment was passed giving women that right? Men have led by subjugation of women. So, my premise is that it is better being single than being maidservant to a man who looks upon a women as chattel.

But you are proud of that like it is an achievement. Why? That is expected of all men, even losers.

At the risk of going off on a tangent, the claim itself is pretty meaningless because some people will tape up a fallen light fixture with duct tape and call that a home repair. The spectrum in the quality and complexity of maintenance that people do is insanely wide, yet they all claim they can do repairs.

Men are biologically programmed to be curious about systems and that means that they go through their entire life analyzing how things work. That make them better at fixing things. Far more men will completely tear apart an appliance like a washer to save money on repairs than women.

The only reason you deny that fact is because you think that is an argument about the value of men and women and it sends your ego into defense mode.
