I strongly suspect that this is a neologism. The proper adjective for misandry is actually misandrous. 90.196.119.53 09:32, 27 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Looking at the related misogynistic why is this not misandristic or why is the female term not simply misogynic ? Seems odd. Etym (talk) 02:02, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Seems somewhat analogous to "sweaty" below, in that likely many adjectives that are not obviously also nouns, and indeed that we presently may not list as nouns, could sometimes be used as nouns meaning "a ~ person/thing". E.g. even a randomly chosen example such as "idiotic" yields some hits for "the idiotics" meaning "the idiotic people". Mihia (talk) 14:12, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Where there is an -s plural I see no problem with these (but the adjectival ones like "the poor", "the sick" feel redundant to me). Equinox 14:14, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Right, see my note below under "sweaty". Mihia (talk) 14:18, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

RFV-passed. You can, of course, bring up the issue at RFD. Kiwima (talk) 19:42, 14 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
