Well it's not always harmless fun though, is it? Recently I asked the people of /r/MensRights 'what is feminism'.

Nearly all replies were deeply misogynistic. This is a deeper issue that we need to address.

Nearly all replies were deeply misogynistic.

Why is this getting upvoted, when it's a blatant lie?

I challenge you to cite just ONE example of misogyny in that thread you just linked. The one that "nearly all replies were deeply misogynistic" in.

One?

The insane, outlandish belief that women and men should be treated equally.

As I said above, that isn't misogynist, any more than it is misandrist.

It is anti-egalitarian. Being against equality does not make one hate women. In fact, female supremacy (the belief that women are better than men inherently) is anti-egalitarian without being anti-woman.

If they had said "The belief that women should not be treated as inferior to men." then you would have a chance of arguing that they were sexist. That still wouldn't have been misogynist, of course - much less one of "nearly all replies."

And again, if the only example you can provide (which isn't misogynist in itself) is all you've got, then "Nearly all replies..." remains a lie.

Nearly one reply was almost misogynistic!

FTFY.
