The real misandry of certain radical and noisy feminists. Some feminists actually do hate men, quite obviously. And some of them are female supremacists. Many are neither of those things, but some are.
The real misandry of certain feminists is ridiculous. It is every bit as ridiculous as real misogyny.
I don't see anywhere in the article that suggests the author thinks that real misandry doesn't exist.
She doesn't explicitly state this, but she does imply it.
“Misandry”—literally, the hatred of men—is an accusation that’s been flung at feminists since the dawn of the women’s movement: By empowering women, critics argue, feminists are really oppressing men.
By saying that "an accusation has been flung" at the members of a movement, you are suggesting that the accusation is false. If not, why would you use this phrase? She's conveniently talking about the whole movement, as if all feminists sing from the same songsheet. They don't. Some are reasonable, and some are man-hating psychopaths.
