Do you have a prepared response? Do you flat out ignore misandrist people? Walk away, call them out loudly, interrupt them over and over, etc?
I’ve been thinking what with all the misandry, especially online, we need to normalize shitting it down right away, letting these people know their attitude and speech isn’t appreciated and it won’t be met with praise (as it is in certain echo chambers).
For myself, whenever I hear someone start to spew misandrist nonsense (you know “man v bear” type stuff), I start cutting them off and getting increasingly rude to them, but I always try to remain calm. I try to make them as uncomfortable as possible without blowing up at them.

ignore it, theyre not worth my time. honestly great way to deal with anything that bothers you that you cant change
Reddit isn’t real life. I can’t recall a time where I have needed a ready response to something like this, because normal people in real life don’t act like that.
If its in person and they’re trying to talk to me, i just say “oh, you’re one of those” and walk off.
If its online I ignore it.
Ignore it, they hold no power over you. You riling them only reinforces their stupid beliefs.
