it's man logic to promote denigrating terms against men in an effort to better the plight of women.

I'm afraid I'm not sure what your point is (is it objecting to the word "misogyny"?)--could you elaborate?

The idea of encouraging the term of "man logic" is man logic. Misogyny is clearly a problem, but saying, "oh but men are dumb too" is not the right way to go about fixing it.

I definitely wasn't encouraging the invention of the term "man logic"--I was pointing out that no-one even thinks about calling things "man logic". That's the dichotomy at play here.
