 +
 +Typical reaction formulae for misandrists
 +
 +1. "Wow, just wow."
 +
 +This is the #1 goto for misandrists. It discourages any actual logical discussion, and just implies that the person you
 +are talking to is *so* ignorant that it is, somehow, totally impossible for you to hold any sort of fruitful discussion
 +with them.
 +
 +
 +2. "Creep!"
 +
 +Calling someone "creepy" is the best way to tar them with a vaguely distasteful brush. Often used by so-called "feminists"
 +to sling mud when a decent logical argument doesn't suffice.
 +
 +3. "Misogynist!"
 +
 +See (2), but with the additional caveat that now even your wife, girlfriend, or close female friend might balk at being
 +associated with someone who purportedly "hates women".
 
 
 + 1. "This is _offensive_!"
 +
 + Offensiveness is a relative thing. What is offensive to me may not be offensive to you. But misandrists typically claim
 + that there is a fixed set of things that are offensive, and that set is determined by them and them only. Also see (2)
 + for related tarring-with-brush.
 
  1. "Women earn 77 cents to the dollar."
 +
 + This is one of the frequent ones. Even the woman who wrote an article titled "The End of Men" [has written an article debunking this oft-cited statistic](http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2013/08/gender_pay_gap_the_familiar_line_that_women_make_77_cents_to_every_man_s.html). Misandrists who tout this statistic completely ignore the fact that it may be a woman's choice to take a lower-paying job with more flexibility.
 + 
 
  1. Deliberately choosing to interpret something as a sexual comment
 +
 + This was seen in the "forking repo" fiasco instituted by Adria Richards, who got a man fired because she somehow felt offended when he referred to 'forking someone's repo.', and referenced 'dongles', both of which are legit, frequently used terms in tech.
 + 
 + 1. The "I have a daughter and this is going to make things difficult for her" card.
 +
 + This is often cast to attract empathy. Now suddenly, instead of enforcing a commit policy, you are making it more
 + difficult for Bryan Cantrill's daughter to make a career in the tech world. (See twitter/bcantrill's tweets from 1 Dec 
 + 2013 for an example of this behavior).
