N.B. misandry is not real because men are not systemically oppressed (uninternalize your reddit MRA today: men suffer some drawbacks under the patriarchy but ultimately still maintain it due to the large amount of privileges they receive under it!)

I feel like "misandry doesn't exist" discourse is conflating privilege with prejudice.
Misogyny and misandry describe prejudices, which anybody can have about any kind of people. The unilateral system of prejudice we have that privileges men and codifies misogyny is called patriarchy.
Misogyny is an element of patriarchy, and misandry is not, but both of these also exist as their own concepts aside from patriarchy
I think this line of reasoning implies that 'reverse racism' does actually exist, which I think is a pretty unserious notion.
Sounds to me like they're trying to draw a distinction between situational prejudice and systemic prejudice, and yeah situational prejudice that hurts feelings is a very lesser beast compared to its systemic counterpart
