women regularly prefer attractive misogynists over attractive non-misogynists, but they prefer unattractive non-misogynists over unattractive misogynists. if you are attractive, it is not socially disadvantageous to be misogynistic. if you are unattractive, it is socially disadvantageous to be misogynistic. the most advantaged men are misogynists, which is rational for them. the most disadvantaged men are also misogynists, which is bizarre, because it deepens their social disadvantage. the persistence in society of attractive misogynists perpetuates the notion that men are retarded bigots, since many women interact with attractive misogynists and form their impressions of men accordingly. if women stopped attacking men in general for the sins of attractive men specifically, but were willing to specifically disprefer the most attractive, misandry and misogyny would both decline. misandry and misogyny do tend to fuel each other and thus they do tend to rise or fall together. interactions with misogynistic men tend to produce misandristic women; interactions with misandristic women tend to produce misogynistic men. this cycle can be halted at either point. unfortunately, women today are frequently misandristic, as observed statistically by data suggesting the average woman regards the average man as deeply inferior and unwanted, so social ire tends to befall the unattractive in general rather than the misogynistic specifically. it is socially taboo to point out misandry in all but the most flagrant cases, so "mild" misandry has become a normative performance.
