Misandry is perhaps a word you haven’t heard before. Here is a perfect example of misandry:

Yes. It’s a knife block, in the shape of a man. It’s called All Men Are Bastards. It’s not even a controversial art installation. It’s an Italian-designed knife block, a real product that you can buy.

First we had T-shirts with slogans like “Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them!“. And now this. The figure of a man that you can stab over and over again. What next?

Now I’m no fan of censorship, or human rights laws. But I think there is right and wrong in this world, and I’m standing here today and proclaiming: this is not right. Nobody would laugh at a similar product aimed at women, or African-Americans, or Jews. People who sell this product, and people who buy it, should take a good hard look at themselves and what they really think of men.

Friend of mine had one in the kitchen. Asked him who it was from….oh the kids for my birthday…cool aye….yep…okay so the ex-wife bought it for the kids to give to the ex-husband for his birthday and he is too stupid to know what it really signifies.

Kept me laughing all weekend.

Interesting application of the importance of the appropriate metaphysical valuation of man. I totally agree. It’s clever, but it’s not good.

I think it is funny. I’d even be inclined to buy it. It’s harmless.

Just because he doesnt want to buy it doesnt mean it isnt offensive you dumb bitch.
