[edit] Equal rights

Hi, I made the first two paragraphs of this page more comparable to the female version (misogyny), since Wikipedia articles are not supposed to be in favor of one sex over the other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.37.222 (talk) 01:53, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bias

The language and sources used in this article feel somewhat anti-feminist. It's a string of examples of people "identifying" misandry in feminism, and I think it reflects rather poorly as a result. People often take wikipedia at face value, so thhis kind of language is dangerous. The last thing we need to do is reinforce public bias against feminism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.112.206.124 (talk) 17:23, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

This article has a history of POV problems and antifeminist soapboxing. If you have well-sourced information about other sorts of misandry, it might be good to add. / edg ☺ ☭ 19:39, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

There is no public bias against feminism. On the other hand, there is a real public bias against men Wwmargera (talk) 09:48, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

I may not have made this clear, but I was replying to the post by 174.112.206.124. That user specifically implied that there was a public bias against feminism. If I was sharing my opinions and discussing the topic generally, then so was that user. Wwmargera (talk) 13:06, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
