>Bigotry isn't really about words
Words matter.
Bigotry isn't just words, but words matter. A lot. Instead of dumping a ton of words defending bigotry, maybe just use a few well chosen ones to denounce it.

I've spent a lot of time explaining this to you. If you don't want to listen that's fine, if a little disappointing. But really, please do some reading on feminism and anti-racism. Look here [1]. Look at the differences in hate crimes against white and Black people. Or look here [2] and see the differences in unemployment. Or look here [3] and see the difference in prison population. Or look here [4] at the differences between male and female victims of domestic violence. These things happen because of institutional racism and sexism, and if we're going to deal with them we're going to have to be informed.

What does any of that have to do with not using bigotted language?

It's not bigoted. Men have oppressed women -- basically since there have been women. Hell if someone did that to me I'd want to kill them too. Merely recognizing the sex of your oppressor isn't bigoted.
There is no correlating behavior here. If feminists win out, women will pay the same for health care as men do, we'll have as many women working in STEM as we have men, women will be paid the same money for the same work. You can't equate that with sexism. You can't say that if we want to advocate for equal rights for women in the workplace that we have to tolerate people advocating against equal rights for women in the workplace. It's deeply and clearly wrong. It's like if I want to say "vaccines don't cause autism" we have to give equal air time to people who think they do. No, we don't. They're wrong.
That's why these things aren't the same. I would guess you'll probably just say (again), "people who say 'kill all men' are expressing hate against men, that's misandry and it's bigoted", but please at least consider what I've written now to... idk 8 people in this thread. The worst thing that happens is you come to the conclusion I'm just spending a lot of time ineffectively trolling and burning my karma. But I'm hoping you'll start to consider that the issue is much more complicated.
