I am suspicious that we might not have the same definition of real life....? In what settings are these conversations occurring? I cant imagine you are speaking to coworkers or a group of friends making these types of claims. Are we just overhearing people whole grocery shopping or something? Color me skeptical, but I just can't really think of a scenario outside the Internet where this would even come up.
Secondly, I'm not sure if your examples are really all genuine acts of misandry.
"short men are disgusting"
Would it be misogynist for a man to claim tall women are disgusting? Inappropriate and small minded yes.... Sexist in general though?
"men are ruining the world"
I think this one might just be accurate? As a man who does not hate men, I can pretty confidently claim that the people currently ruining the world are pretty much all men.
"I hate that im attracted to men"
Again, seems more like a personal preference thing? Sometimes I think certain aspects of life would be a lot easier if I were a gay man.
And again, these anecdotes could all be 100 percent true and valid, and it still wouldn't be indicative that we are dealing with a prominent cultural shift towards misandry. Can any normal not terminally online adult name a single powerful, famous, or culturally significant misandrist? Because that's super easy when it comes to misogynist.
this is mostly from my close friends, family and random women i've dated people who I would consider to be "nice people". I am not trying to say the balancec is shifting towards misandry. I am trying to say irrespective of any increase in misogyny I am seeing and increase in misandry.
