6. 'institutionalized misandry' - surely you say that in jest

Once upon a time when I was single - the Yuba County Family Support Division choose to ignore the Yuba County Superior Court Judge's order granting me sole physical and legal custody of my sons because don't you know a man doesn't raise children alone

Instead they garnished my wages, emptied my bank accounts, harassed my employer - for 2 full years Even after submitting irrefutable evidence to the Welfare Fraud Investigator who told me "To mind my own business". Countless trips into county offices where female clerks would refer to me "As Just Another Bum Trying to get out of me obligations"

Until I notified the State Attorney General

At which point they had to return ALL the money to me - that is Institutionalized Misandry

Not to mention the hardship it placed on my children

But No - I do not think the word "Misandry" is going away any time soon
