Not having a care for man and misandry are completely different.
WHAT?
Misandry /mɪˈsændri/ is the dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men (i.e. the male sex).
en.wikipedia.org...
What would your definition be?
I notice that the definition that you have cited doesn't include apathy, which is what "not having a care" means.
That's it? Semantics? I expected better.

Absolute NONSENSE!
Let's take a look at this situation.
Me and my wife decide we are going to try and have children. We both agree that's what we want.

So which is it, there is systematic cultural misandry, or men and women are equally represented in both the public and private sectors and within those two areas men and women have certain (mostly archaic) laws skewed either in favor of or against a certain demographic of your choosing?
It's neither. The point I was making is that women don't have it as bad as the media claims they do in 1st world nations like ours. Things are quickly becoming very equal in employment, political influence and wages.
So the argument that men still control everything isn't really true now is it? Which is why it's not a good argument to use against the idea that Misandry exists in our culture and nobody wants to talk about it.

Men tend to be physically stronger, while women tend to be more nurturing.
I emphatically disagree that women tend to be more nurturing. That is an archaic stereotype, a particularly irritating one, that has been promoted in mass media for as long as I can remember. In reality, however, it is rarely -- RARELY -- the case that women are the more nurturing, caring, or sensitive gender.
Myth 1: Women get less pay for equal work. The spurious assertion that women are paid 77 cents for a man’s wage dollar comes from comparing the earnings of all full-time men with those of all full-time women.
The comparison is bogus, for two reasons. First, it lumps together men and women who work different numbers of hours — any hours above 35 hours per week. On average, full-time women work fewer hours than full-time men, often because they prefer it.
When comparisons are made between men and women who work 40 hours per week, women make 87% of men’s earnings, according to the Labor Department. For men and women who work 30 to 34 hours a week, women make more, 109% of men’s earnings.
Second, the gap claim averages for each gender earnings from many and disparate vocations. For example, it averages women who work as social workers with men who work as investment bankers; female elementary school teachers with male engineers; and male loggers with female administrative assistants.
Don't even get me started one the whole "man cave" thing. That drives me insane. Buy a house and have all your stuff relegated to one single room cause you think your wife is more important than you are.
Pathetic.

There is such a double standard between men and women that it is ridiculous. And it is not just a battle of the sexes. This same double standard exists between members of different races as well. To describe what I mean, do you think it would be okay for a white person to create a white entertainment channel, or form a group focused on the advancement of white people? The same philosophy is present between the two sexes as well. And what has happened to society is described well. I have always called it the nanny-state, and it is the result of women complaining about every little thing.
Have you noticed that when something happens that men would simply shrug off, there will be some woman out there who MUST make a big deal about it. Always. And this is exactly why masculinity has disappeared to a great degree in our society. I really enjoyed reading your post, and it is in line with what I myself believe. I even learned a great deal. Good job.
