Some are misogynist, some are misandrist. Not both at the same time.

Expecting men to adhere to the "burly, hairy bread-winner" stereotype is misandristic in the same way that expecting women to "stay in the kitchen" is misogynistic, and those expectations often correlate. They're both cases of holding people to artificial standards.

There are those who identify as neither male nor female, and who furthermore are biased against both. (That's probably not what the article was talking about, but it is theoretically possible.)

I would like to note that I'm not accusing all people in that category of bias, only noting that it's a phenomenon that exists. Misogyny and misandry are not as incompatible of ideas as they seem. (For those who think this observation is downvote-worthy, I'd love an explanation.)
