The University of Adelaide (informally Adelaide University) is a public research university located in Adelaide, South Australia. Established in 1874, it is the third-oldest university in Australia. The university's main campus is located on North Terrace in the Adelaide city centre, adjacent to the Art Gallery of South Australia, the South Australian Museum, and the State Library of South Australia.
The Poster
In July 2018 SJWs accused the University of Adelaide of promoting or condoning mansplaining as a result of a poster advertising the university. The poster shows a man explaining something while several women are looking and listening. Predictably the university distanced itself from the poster.[1][2]
This was still drawing media attention in 2022 and received additional publicity in 2024..[3][4]
Misandry
Misandry is the hatred of, pathological aversion to, or prejudice against men.[5] The first recorded use of the term dates from the 19th century.[6] 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[7] and The End of Men[8] 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'[9][10][11] 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.
