So maybe you might not be knowing about it so let me tell you , It means prejudice against men . In ancient greek , 'mis' means hatred and 'andro' means men. Recently, the statement “I am a feminist” has become synonymous to the statement “I hate men.” The mere idea of feminism is being misconstrued as the idea of hating men.

Gender identity is an integral aspect of ourselves and should never lead to discrimination or abuse. Over the past decade, L G B T people have gained more and more tolerance and acceptance in India, especially in large cities. People in the L G B T community are fighting for equal rights and acceptance. People’s prejudices lead them to think that L G B T people are odd and very different. Today, homosexuality and queer identities may be acceptable to more Indian youths than ever before but within the boundaries of families, homes and schools, acceptance still remains a constant struggle for L G B T people. In urban India, where social media and corporate initiatives have created increasing awareness of L G B T rights, the scenario looks more upbeat. While urban ...
