About
Misandry is a word used in both the original sense and in a sarcastic manner by feminists, particularly on Tumblr.
The word itself means “hatred of men”, and is used in serious discussions about gender equality by both feminists and Men’s Rights Activists. However, online the word is used to mock overzealous MRAs who see misandry everywhere, much like how people have mocked feminists for seeing misogyny where there isn’t any. This usually comes in the form of a .GIF showing a woman hitting or otherwise treating a man badly. Less commonly, the .GIF simply consists of a man being hurt, often in a comical or exaggerated way.
Origin
This meme began with the birth of the Men’s Right’s Movement, or MRM. These activists (Men’s Rights Activists or MRAs) often do their work online, fighting against the oppression of men. The MRM often refers to misandry, or the hatred of men, as a cause for this oppression, much like how the feminist movement uses the term misogyny. Feminists began bullying the MRAs by painting them all as radical and paranoid and mocked their overusage of misandry.
Spread
The use of these .GIFs first began on Tumblr and has since spread to other parts of the web as generic Computer Reaction Faces.
