Well, that'll teach me to go mucking around LJ in the wee hours....

I stumbled upon this community

and was perusing it out of morbid curiosity when I ran across this, er, gem....

Do you feel that one gender is, by nature, superior to the other? Explain your answer.
Women are superior by virtue of biology. We are the first form, males are mutated and stunted women. Their reproductive organs have 'fallen' out of their bodies to dangle and the hemispheres of their brains do not have sufficient connections to allow for balanced, reasoned and emotional thought.

I'm embarrassed to be a woman when I read things like this.

Yeah, because misandry is sooooo much better than misogyny. (Heh...Firefox's spellchecker doesn't recognize "misandry" as a word...)

No.

misanthropy means "hatred of humankind" (men AND women)
misandry means "hatred of men"

I stand corrected. Interestingly, it seems the word "misandry" was created in 1945 precisely because there was no word that meant the opposite of "misogynist".

heh...i did not realize that it was such a recently-created word...
