mate, i said nothing regarding evidence, me being an egg was why i went out of my way to learn about misandry, so i could stop doing it
so of course it isn't evidence, because it isn't. i didn't think i had to provide specific examples of why misandry exists, just like you didn't give examples of misogyny (not counting transmisogyny as we clearly agree on, as your theory requires both transphobia and misogyny, so otherwise i can assume your transmisogyny is just plain transphobia)
now, it’s not required for me to give evidence, just like you don’t need to either. if you are gonna demand evidence, please source everything you said first
when it comes to discrimination, being able to deny it's existence is a sign that it’s succeeding
please can you NEVER assume a type of discrimination isn't real, or there is a good chance you'll become part of the problem, thats the first step
if a cishet rich white male claimed to be discriminated against, i wouldn't disregard their claim and say it’s impossible, but i would go onto the next step
assuming a discrimination is real, you then got to analyse how significant it is. because not all discrimination is equal, so while discrimination against cishet rich white males might exist, it probably insignificant and goes to the bottom of the priority list when it comes to solving equality.
I would like to point out, it is required to solve all discrimination in order to achieve equality in society (or equity depending on goals)
and if you are ignoring part of the requirements to achieve equality, thats... concerning
continuing from the point before, not only you do need to analyse how significant it is, or it's level of priority, but you also gotta analyse to see if it’s different from your assumed understanding on how discrimination works
for example, lets say theres two streets, Street 1 and Street 2, and two groups of people, Group A, Group B (assume what classifies the groups is something fundamental they cannot change)
if group A tried to walk down street 1, they get killed, so they are forced to walk down street 2 (and if they live or work on street 1, they cannot avoid it)
if group B tried to walk down street 2, they get slapped, so to avoid pain they go down street 1 (and if they live or work on street 2, they cannot avoid it)
in this example, discrimination against both groups exist, but the priority is absolutely the fact that group A is getting killed on Street 1 is the priority
Although group A's discrimination is more severe and higher priority, group B discrimination still exist. does this mean we should drop everything to help group B? Hell no, group A is getting killed, they get priority, but that doesnt give us the right to ignore the fact that group B still receives discrimination, even if they are relatively privileged, this shows you can both be subject of privilege and discrimination at the same time
next thing to consider about group B's discrimination is, if you only judge group B's discrimination based on what happens on Street 1, because thats where the highest statistics of deaths are, not only are you looking at the wrong place, but the metric/criteria you use to detect discrimination... discriminates against Group B
luckily for you, you're metric/criteria does detect severe discrimination, so at least you aren't ignoring the place that needs most help
but it still doesn't invalidate Group B discrimination, you're just lucky they aren't top priority
now, if a Group C exists, that remain unharmed on both streets 1 & 2 and say nothing about discrimination, then maybe they don’t face discrimination
but if someone from Group C says they do face discrimination, you don't fucking deny it, you instead look into it
you may find out they get insulted whenever they walk down street 3
have you ever heard of street 3 before? no? have you ever heard of a group being attacked with insults? no? does it make it any less valid due to the ignorance of a third party? hell no
now, this is all to say, logically, no matter how much you personally hate the concept, or regardless of how much you hate men, misandry exists
Does this mean we drop everything to solve misandry? hell no, we keep fighting against transmisogyny which is much more severe with a higher priority, we keep fighting for the lives of transfems that get destroyed every day
we just cant use it as an excuse to deny other forms of discrimination, even if those forms are much more rare, more mild or occur in unique ways
now, if you require evidence that misandry exists despite this...
i will go research case studies for you and give you your evidence
but ill also just be very disappointed in you, which might not mean much, probably not to be honest, I'm just a stranger on the internet, but i hope it does
and i hope this will cause you to do some self reflection, although I'm unsure if it will
