Of course hatred of men \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' a trait Straw Feminists will very frequently (or even always) exhibit.

The purpose is not to say \\\"hating men is wrong\\\"; the purpose is to say \\\"feminists hate men (and that\\\'s wrong).\\\"

Perhaps this article should be changed a bit -- while being careful not to make it unnecessarily longer or less clear than it is now, since this is obviously important for cutting down on natter -- to make it clear that it\\\'s not just StrawMisogynist with the genders reversed.

Either that, or the article could just be re-named \\\"Straw Misandrist\\\", and then a note could be added to it that says \\\"feminists are often portrayed this way by authors critical of feminism.\\\"

A StrawFeminist is a character set up to make feminism look bad. A StrawMisogynist is a character set up to make misogyny look bad. But feminism \'\'is not the DistaffCounterpart of misogyny\'\'. And so, the character types are \'\'not\'\' exact counterparts of each other.
