Okay, so firstly, I was not talking about the woman's post, or, at least the entirety of it. My question to the author was how wanting to not live with men around me (and mind you, that doesn't include my kid, they are my kid in the first place, their gender doesn't matter) make me misandric.

But you talk about the post. Alright, let's talk about what you wrote. What you did is called twisting her words to suit a narrative you want. And in this case, as the original post-owner is a woman and you are a man, given the context of our society, what you did is called mansplaining too.
But coming to the point, her saying "men , tread lightly" along with giving the unscientific "fact" that women will be able to reproduce without the help of the men doesn't sound like she is saying "kill the men". Instead it sounds like she is fed up with the nonsense coming from a lot of men in her life (specially the kind of men who think that they are an irreplaceable part of the women's lives and hence they can take them for granted, and use and abuse women however they want), and she wants women to be able to not need men anymore in their lives. she doesn't want to (as suggested by you) kill her sons, or not be a loving parent to them. And why you would think such a horrible thing is beyond my understanding.

And, in the 2nd part of your comment, you say that my comments mean I would want to banish all men if I could? Where exactly I interpreted that? I talked about a fantasy world of mine where there are gender-specific countries, and some common countries too. But where is the "I wish I could banish all the men" part? It's genius of you to find "kill all men" sentiment inside normal comments. This might actually have something to do with a psychological thing, you know. Like in most of the horror movies, the ghost is a woman wanting revenge for something bad done to her life in her lifetime, right? Your thing is also like that, I think. You see ghosts of men-hating women everywhere, because maybe your conscience knows what you are preaching to women and men (gender roles, as I came to know from our last ineteraction) is actually not for their own benefit but for satisfying a trad-kink of yours?
