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!)

And women will divorce men usually only after being extremly abused.
Men will kill you for not smiling or some weird shit.
Racism certainly has gendered aspects to it that some populations of women can exploit to do violence on other populations of men, but since this form of discrimination isn't universally applicable, I wouldn't call it misandry (because misogyny is universally applicable to all women, so there's a false equivalence).
i've never even seen anyone call it misandrnoir or any of the other ways you could do that portmanteau. everybody just calls it racism and maybe talks a little about intersections.
misandry isn't a serious concept even if we could choose to use it to describe some of us having to register for the draft and so on, but the disposability of men comes from patriarchy anyway so there's little interest in formalizing it further.
How is that not more a form of racism?
