On Urbandictionary it looks like the entry for the word misandry has been hijacked by a feminist hacker. There are approximately 100 duplicate definitions by the same person who created a hateful definition, and the first four duplicates each have about 30,000 upvotes. I emailed them about it a couple of days ago, but they haven't done anything about it yet. My email was probably read by a feminist who is laughing about it.

Dear editor, this entry does not violate any of the rules on the editor homepage. "Rule 3. Publish opinions. Don't reject an entry just because it's opinionated. Opinions are useful to readers unfamiliar with a topic. Don't reject an entry because you disagree or are offended. Don't reject an entry because you think it's inaccurate." It's not sexist as it's a view which can be held by any gender, doesn't generalise entire groups and citing another's opinion isn't personal approval or promotion. "Rule 2. Entries can document discrimination but not endorse it."
Generally, "misandry" refers to the hatred and oppression of men on a genotypic basis.
As sociologist Allan Johnson notes, "misandry" has no place in a male-identified, male-centered world. Moreover, Johnson states: "And it takes almost no criticism at all in order for men to feel "bashed," like it's "open season on men." In fact, just saying "male privilege" or "patriarchy" can start eyes rolling and evoke that exasperated sense of "Here we go again." (Allan Johnson, "Privilege, power and difference," p. 197) "Accusations of male bashing and man hating work to discredit feminism because people often confuse men as individuals with men as a dominant and privileged category of people. Given the reality of women's oppression, male privilege, and some men's enforcement of both, it's hardly surprising that EVERY woman should have moments when she resents or even "hates" men." (Allan Johnson, "The gender knot," p. 107

On Wikipedia, I found the following quote in the entry for Buddy Film: "Critics like Molly Haskell and Robin Wood saw the decades' films as "a backlash from the feminist movement".[7] Philippa Gates wrote, "To punish women for their desire for equality, the buddy film pushes them out of the center of the narrative...
I tried to delete the quote but it was replaced within several hours with a message to me saying that it comes from a credible source. If a source makes a clearly misandric and unfounded statement, it should no longer be credible. But of course feminists don't care about logic. One of the reasons feminism is so powerful is because too many feminists have too much free time sitting in front of their computer just waiting to do battle, while men are busy doing real work in the real world. I've noted on many occasions that many vandalized or extremely biased Wikipedia pages stay that way for months or years, even when flagged and begging someone to clean up the page, but if it's anything having to do with gender even in the slightest way, the response (battle) is virtually instantaneous. There truly is an army of feminists that sit at their computers all day, latte in hand, just waiting to do battle, alerts set up for all their favorite pages in case any antifeminist (or rational being) tries to modify their propaganda.
