It is, but there are a ton of people pushing for women's issues and other currently hot button social topics who are incredibly aggressive themselves, and pretending those people don't exist, or that it's okay when pointed at the non-marginalized group is a problem.
Let's not pretend that explicit misandry doesn't exist just because it frequently comes from people hiding behind the shield of championing women's rights. Let's not brush off misandry because men aren't marginalized.
Go to town about whether or not it's worse, but I find very often that people want to pretend it simply does not exist.
Most posts like the one you're responding to would get a lot of support if it were flipped to be a woman going off on a guy, but generally when things like thay are brought up you get decried for whataboutism.
