Misandry

Categorism focused on targeting men. (In Swedish: misandri)

While Sexism (categorism based on a categorization of gender) is mostly about misogyny, it includes misandry as well.

Examples of facets expressed through this focus

• Dehumanization: Talking about men as if they were robots or monstrous beasts. Statements such as "To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo."

• Demonization: Talking about one gender or another (in this case men) as being immoral, driven by selfishness and dark emotions.

• Infantilization: Constructing men as being less intelligent and rational than women. Often conveniently limited to when he happens to be horny, and combined with Denial of Agency (and to some extent Dehumanization) into the idea that a sexually aroused man can't be responsible for his own actions. Note that while this attitude is clearly misandrist, it is also misogynistic although in a different way.
