@simchona - Note that the question I have inadvertently duplicate with the current question is not being closed; instead it has had 7 upvote and 456 times is being viewed. These circumstances prove that you are wrong in your choice to close my question as GR :) – Carlo_R. Jun 23 '12 at 13:15

and, hence, misandrist – Daniel Harbour Jun 23 '12 at 12:37
@DanielHarbour Could you provide a link to misandrist, please? – Carlo_R. Jun 23 '12 at 12:40
misandry is not who hates or mistrusts men. In other terms, you cannot say "John Doe is a misandry." – Carlo_R. Jun 23 '12 at 12:42
@DanielHarbour Thanks. I forgot to change it. – user20934 Jun 23 '12 at 12:53
