I think there are two problems here. One is what several people, including myself, have been saying all along -- misandry is the female counterpart to misogyny, and StrawFeminist is only called StrawFeminist because of the tendency of some writers to portray all feminists (as opposed to their lunatic fringe, who certainly \'\'do\'\' fit the trope description) as misandrists in order to misrepresent feminism on the whole. StrawMisogynist may have been created \

One is what several people, including myself, have been saying all along -- misandry is the female counterpart to misogyny, and StrawFeminist is only called StrawFeminist because of the tendency of some writers to portray all feminists (as opposed to their lunatic fringe, who certainly \\\'\\\'do\\\'\\\' fit the trope description) as misandrists in order to misrepresent feminism on the whole. StrawMisogynist may have been created \\\"due to the desire to have a Spear Counterpart to Straw Feminist,\\\" as stated below, but the comparison is inaccurate, regardless of whether we rename this page or not.
And the second problem is this. Here\\\'s the first bit of HeManWomanHater:
\\\'\\\'\\\"Fuck, everyone knows girls can\\\'t do shit other than suck dick.\\\"\\\'\\\'
\\\'\\\'—Chad Warden\\\'\\\'
\\\'\\\'The (partial) Spear Counterpart to Does Not Like Men, except portrayed much less sympathetically. When one of a character\\\'s major defining traits is his hatred of women. Usually portrayed not just as mere sexism, but unreasoning hate of women.\\\'\\\'
It sounds pretty much the same. There aren\\\'t many examples on this page, and they would all fit in on HeManWomanHater, which has its share of extreme examples as it is. Feminism and misandry are two different things, while misogyny and \\\"exaggerated misogyny\\\" are varying degrees of a viewpoint that\\\'s loathsome without the need for misrepresentation. We don\\\'t need two separate trope pages for \\\"a thing\\\" and \\\"the same thing but worse.\\\"
Not all double standards \\\'\\\'have\\\'\\\' a counterpart for the opposite sex. That\\\'s part of why they\\\'re double standards.
