Even man hate. You have some people practice double think in that on the on hand they claim it doesn't exist, while at the same time reading books that treat misandry as some sort of feminist fantasy of revenge. If you're into fantasy that's one thing, but don't claim it's not hatred, or that the practice of hating doesn't also exist.
That's essentially what metoo was. It was using a legitimate issue and (what's the term used these days?) 'weaponizing' it in support of the establishment's relentless drive to punish Julian Assange and Wikileaks for being you know, and actual journalist, and doing actual journalism.

Assange was the first and most significant victim of the gender-based politics of political witch-hunting, in which accusations of sexual crimes are elevated to the status of unchallengeable fact and used to destroy due process and the presumption of innocence. Issues of class and political principle are drowned in a tide of denunciations by those claiming to speak on behalf of the rights of women but advance the interests of imperialism and the affluent middle class.
In August 2010, with successive WikiLeaks revelations shaking world imperialism, an investigation—a transparent fraud and now totally discredited and subjected to a devastating dissection by UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer—was begun by Sweden into Assange’s alleged sexual assault of two women. This action gave grounds for his seizure by the British police and was used to keep him arbitrarily detained in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for close to seven years.
And there's some terms I'll now refer to to describe people who like the call themselves 'liberal' but who really espouse and support a neo-liberal/right-wing/capitalist-driven agenda, which of course benefits the rich and powerful -
Shit-lib or psuedo-left
Here are a few -
- Marina Hyde (UK's Guardian )
- Luke Harding (UK's Guardian ) - this guy's a real winner. Russiagater to the extreme.
- Suzanne Moore (New Statesman)
- Katha Pollitt (US' Nation)
- Tom Walker (Socialist Workers Party (SWP))
- Lindsey German (Counterfire)
Other organizations to watch out for include
- Jacobin
- Socialist Alternative
- International Socialist Organisation in America
- Socialist Alternative in Assange’s native Australia
