The only genuinely misogynist people that I know of are so due to abuse. Mostly severe, over a long period of time, and/or by multiple perpetrators so it can be difficult to counter, especially when people’s response would only make things worse. So when it comes to misogyny I’d say that none of it is biological, as it goes against humanity’s gynocentric nature.

As for whether there is any non-biological reason for misandry; considering that women’s innate fear of men which often progresses to hatred (a side effect of the lack of empathy for them which is itself a side effect of their own self preservation), is biological, probably not.

Some say that the reason men are considered to be violent/rapists is because of biology but when perpetration by one sex is exaggerated while the other is ignored coupled with female preference it’s difficult to really know for sure with more severe forms of violence. Women are more willing to hit men than the other way around, it also takes a hell of a lot less provocation. Most men won’t report any abuse by women, emotional, physical or sexual. This perpetuates the idea that men are perpetrators and women are victims while encouraging women more inclined towards these behaviours to commit them. Believing that men can’t be victims while women can’t be perpetrators only increases those very things.

Something I find rather convenient is that with powerful men throughout history, people often say things like “behind every great man is a great woman” if what they did was considered good. They almost see what influence women can have over powerful men. Though they always seem to forget all about it when it comes to dictators, tyrants and despots.

Ask:Do you believe that men and women are wired differently or is it just that society (both men and women) have created a world where men and women are expected to think and act differently. I think the differences are mostly created by society and don't actually exist. Your thoughts?

Answer: If that were the case, how did they differentiate at all?

Men and women are far more similar than they are different, they just manifest differently. Empathy is not a female trait for example, while people find it more obvious in women because they’re more social, if there’s a dog drowning in a river or a child in a burning building, generally it’s men who will rescue them.
Right the way down to crimes such as rape, male rapists mostly target adult women while female ones will mostly target male children.

Women are generally more cautious and averse to personal accountability, using proxy violence or blaming others for their own actions. While men tend to be more overt about it, personally I’d take being punched in the face over being falsely accused any day. It makes perfect sense why this difference exists, of course women are more cautious, a pregnant woman wouldn’t last very long if she didn’t put herself first and early societies wouldn’t have lasted very long if they didn’t put women as a sex first. The differences in behaviour influenced society, not the other way around.

Obviously there are exceptions all round, #NotAll etc. The fact that it’s a biological thing is what makes it so bloody frustrating when dealing with feminists and tradcons alike.
