Language is defined by usage. In other words, words become words through repeated usage so keep using the word misandry until it appears in all dictionaries and spell checkers.

The hatred of men, brought about by gender feminism and other misandrist ideologies, is rampant in American society. It's long overdue that this most basic of terms, defining defining the hatred of males, started reaching wider audiences than just the MRM.

The Oxford English Dictionary is recognized as THE authority on the English language, so this is good news.

Are you sure it is a new addition? I think this needs fact checking by looking at an older OED.
