Quotes

"We need to bring back political assassinations."

"I don’t feel bad and I don’t think that everyone deserves the right to free speech. Some people should be afraid to express their opinion in public."

Discussing a conversation about the death of Charlie Kirk that had occured earlier:

“Now there’s no one left to have productive conversations with…Of course, everyone saying this, they were all male students. There were four or five male students … it just shows that white men will always empathize with the people who look like them.”

After media exposure Xu retracted her earlier advocacy for political violence:

"I do not actually advocate for political assassinations … I did not receive agreement from my professor or other students with the opinions I expressed in class, and it was wrong to imply this in my post."

"I do not condone political violence, and my comments were tactless."

Misandry

Misandry is the hatred of, pathological aversion to, or prejudice against men. The first recorded use of the term dates from the 19th century. At the present time misandry is widespread in Western society but may be in decline.

These days it seems you don't need to look far to see negativity focused at men. What is often known as casual misandry permeates western civilisation where many men and women commonly make negative statements about men without apparently regarding this as a problem or being challenged by anyone else present. This problem has steadily deteriorated and we have now reached the point that books with titles such as Are Men Necessary? When Sexes Collide and The End of Men can be published without significant objection from the wider community.

Negative and inaccurate portrayals of men and boys have permeated mainstream media and online knowledge repositories such as Wikipedia, where the bias is particularly evident. Wikipedia editors routinely write negative commentaries about men and Wikipedia admins protect those commentaries while censoring counter-narratives that might show less biased, more accurate information. This practice is reinforced by feminist editing gangs who congregate in regular 'edit-a-thons' with the sole purpose of increasing feminist ideology within Wikipedia articles, and to censor male-positive discourse and research on men. In a nutshell those in control of Wikipedia have succeeded in deplatforming much reliable information about men and boys.
