Misandry: Justified, Harmful, Or Maybe Even Necessary?

Article here. Excerpt:

'A few weeks ago, while aimlessly scrolling through TikTok videos, I was grabbed by an unusual caption. The video, posted by a woman simply known as “@LTP823”, features the unique tagline “Teaching my 5-year-old daughter to be a misandrist”.

LTP remains semi-anonymous on her TikTok account, refraining from sharing her name beyond those three initials, and a brief bio describing her as a divorced mom and book lover from Washington, D.C. Misandry is commonly known as a strong dislike or hatred towards men. Its definition, according to Merriam-Webster, is simply “a hatred of men”.

Immediately intrigued, I went from aimlessly scrolling to being intently focused on the video. LTP explains that her daughter will inevitably be subjected to growing up in a patriarchal society, and that she wants her daughter to go into the world with an “inflated sense of self”.

LTP has deliberately selected female providers to be part of her young daughter’s life, whether as her doctor, dentist, or other professional.'
