[[File:GWBhZaNWcAAHNiJ.jpeg|thumb|Misandry is widespread in [[Western society]].]]

'''Casual misandry''' is a phenomenon where unfounded negative claims are made about men as a group, or men as a group are insulted or put down.  Both men and women can engage in this behaviour.  It is much more broad than ''male bashing'' which is usually more direct in its attacks on men.  Casual misandry often consists of over-simplification, half truths or in some cases outright lies.  Casual [[misandry]] may be a recent learnt behaviour.  It has certainly become more prevalent in recent decades.

=== Conclusions ===

Statements like these are common in western media.  Many men and women believe these myths about men.  It is reasonable to expect that constant denigration of men and masculinity will have a negative effect on men and boys.  Of particular concern are boys being born in to a world where they are taught from a young age that there is something fundamentally wrong with being male.  If we do not stop spreading these lies and half-truths about men and boys we will continue to see young men and boys disengaging from society in ever increasing numbers.  If this trend continues we will all be the poorer for it.
