Extreme ironing

Big Mac Index

Initially a joke first published by The Economist in 1986, the price index measures purchasing power parity (PPP) between two currencies.

#18 Misandry is rampant in today's society, and no one seems to care. Women actively state how much they hate men in movies, TV, and in real life literally all the time and that's somehow ok. WTF?? Talk about double standards...

Myra,

and there is a whole scene of incel women full of hatred. Sometimes some of them even commit mass murder. And the hundreds of men who get killed by thir partners or ex partners. And the streamers who tell young women how to degrade men and that's totally normal to beat them. Or all those attempts to tell men what they should wear and what medical decisions they can or can't make.
You are totally right, misandry is the main problem in our society.
