Yes, powerful misandrist vibes around. You can see it when they joke about prison rape but only about men, when they argue whether mutilation or other violent retribution was deserved/understandable but only for men, and pretty much whenever violence and punishment are brought up.

For some reason, men seem to be considered more inherently guilty and deserving of punishment, even when their guilt is the same; an obnoxious loon on the metro deserves to be punched, but only when they're a man.

It's a sexist double standard as it makes it easy to imagine a situation where a man deserves to be punished with violence, but hard to imagine a situation where a woman does.
