Misandry

Did you know that whilst "misogyny" is a term often used towards men who criticise  women, the term that  describes a women who has strong reservations about men, "misandry" is virtually unknown.

Terms are often used these days to throw up a smokescreen, obscuring a reasonably argued criticism by stigmatising the people who have something to say.
Terms which when used, simply close down the conversation because of the 'inference' that you are supporting an extremist view, which in the "politically correct fringe" is deem heresy. 
Terms such as racist and homophobic are guaranteed to close an argument down irrespective of how objective the discussion can be and it is a powerful tool in dumbing down discussion.
But it struck me that the term, misandry, which describes the phenomenon of women who have a down on men, is so little used in commentary and says a lot about the gender who do not feel threatened by the sound of their own inflated sense of importance. 

"Men" get on with adapting to their changing circumstances and not whinging about it.

Women, who like men recognise the difference in gender outlook, both culture and emotional, (never mind the hormones), exacerbate and magnify the reaction ! 

The responses from either sex, to a whole range of issues is often different. God bless the difference, but the need to weight the argument with a blanket criticism, using a term which intellectually has its roots in extreme, dated, cultural conditions, should never be used as a form of censorship 
Is this yet again an example of the obsessive nature of women towards men, this lack of a frequently used term to describe the phenomena.

History is full of stories of the 'whiles' of women who seduce men to self destruction. The physical strength of men, whilst protecting them from physical danger, is ill equipped to prevent deeper emotional distress the sort that Cleopatra, Aphrodite and a host of others, including Mary from Number 43 inflicted on the male psyche !!! The Greeks have many stories of the betrayal by the female of the male in an era when it was "not" deemed immoral to classify the species as special but different. Today we have lost the balance of judgement and instead are swayed by the pressure of that subtle host, which even the Spartans would blanch at as an opponent.
